The week before last there was a stock of turf rolls at the DIY store and I got one on a whim. Put it on the roof and watered it till it recovered its condition then cut off sections to put in the run. They went crazy for it and it also seemed to do them the world of good digestively. They don’t get grass normally as they stay in the run and when they do occasionally come out then there is no grass in the rest of the garden (only pot plants that have to be rescued!)
They have some cabbage every day of course.
Trouble is, the availability of a single roll of turf is quite rare. It all went from the DIY store that week and probably wont be back for months. So I was wondering if chopped hay would be OK - its normally not advised for chickens but is that only because of the length causing impaction problems?
