Can I feed my chickens weeds?! (YES!)

www.edibleacres...
We've been raising chickens for over 5 years and have found that offering them free choice on a VERY wide variety of weeds from the garden, food scraps, prunings, branches, etc etc works really well for them.
We trust that they are inherently very intelligent creatures in the ways that matter. By having a big pile of diverse plant material for them to browse through they can pick what works for them, avoid what may not help them thrive, and enjoy the experience. We trust and respect their ability to make good decisions when provided a wide range of options.
We're hoping that with this video folks that feel they'd like to do this too, but have felt scared to offer it, can feel more comfortable with giving it a try!
