Any of you folks with chickens out there, my new chickens seem totally uninterested in anything except protein for food. They like bugs, bits of meat, and their crumbles. But they just wont eat anything green. I've tried salad greens, comfrey, weeds, daikon radish, nothing works. Everyone else's chickens seem to love green stuff. Any ideas? #grownostr #chickens

Try covering their food with a light layer of chopped grass.

That way they associate foraging with green.
