- Naomi Montacre shares the in and outs of feeding fresh greens to your backyard chickens.
As Montacre explains, feeding chickens a variety of greens is a good supplement in addition to their regular feed diet. Watch out for grass and fibrous roots that can cause problems for them which she elaborates on in the video.
Naomi is co-founder of Naomi's Organic Farm Store in Portland, Oregon. This is part 9 in this ongoing series.

Thank you so much for this video! This was exactly the information I was looking for.
I was worried because I gave my chicks a teeny tiny bit of clover when they were young and one almost died from an impacted crop. Lots of prayer and TLC saved her - I stayed closed to her for 2 days ensuring she drank every couple hours, etc. I do not want that to happen again. I did not know about the danger of the root. It was just a tiny bit of clover with the root, but they were only 4 weeks old at the time. I have been scared to give them greens since then. You explained and showed everything so well. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you. A north American who knows her stuff without all the glossy bits. I've subscribed.
This is actually the MOST informative video I've found for feeding greens to chickens! I had no idea it was best to break them up for them. Thank you so much for a wonderfully helpful video that a new chicken mommy will utilize from now on!
Wow, this was very interesting and very informative. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, especially about the problems long blades of grass can cause.
Thanks for the info, I had planned on tossing in the lawn clipping once I got some hens but I guess I will cut them up a bit more first so it's not an issue! You probably just saved my hens a great deal of stress ...
enjoy watching
Thanks....... precious information.....
This was surprisingly informative and illustrative! Love Naomi's chicken impersonations! Really great. The food processor trick is a nice one I hadn't considered.
Glad you got something from it! Thanks for watching. =)
Thank you--the leaves of the green beans?
Hello can My chickens eat kingsfoil ?
How do I get info on how to help them lay eggs it's so sad to hear them when they don't
I bought big chickens and theyre not eating any green im giving to them
Any tips on how to train them? Ive tried mi ing it with corn powder but they just end up eating the corn
I found breaking up the leaves into small pieces helps a lot
Horses DO NOT chew cud. They eat once and poop. That’s why they end up with colic because they get upset stomachs and do not “puke” or burp or chew cud.
Yea I need some green weeds that I don’t have to “grow” to feed my chickens
I did this not end good
Great info, but this is not BACKYARD CHICKENS, she’s a farmer, big difference
Very informative video. By da way u r sooooooo beautiful.
Love this video! What i love the most aside from the great tips was how polite the kids were and said "excuse me". Beautiful manners good job
My chickens loves cook 🍚 rice
keep taking their eggs and they keep producing them, a constant strain
wild chickens = 10-15 eggs
slave chickens = 90-350
it's cruelty to take eggs
Damn hippies
Its cruelty to take eggs but i bet u have eaten them before. I smell a hypocryte
Mercymurv if you do some research.. you wont sound like an idiot.. 😂🤣 about chickens. all chickens lay 250 eggs the first year. i can not believe you typed something sooo stupid ! omg ! please do NOT have any children !
Wrong Mercymurv. You seem to have a good heart but are misinformed about Chickens, relatives of T Rex and most close wild relative is the JungleFowl. Hens bodies produce and ovulate up to 2000 times, fertilized or not...if conditions are excellent and she can survive long enough. With no Rooster contact, all her eggs are eaten by Critters, drawing predators who eat the hen - and broken ones can spoil her nest. A hen doesn't sit on eggs unless she is Broody = sitting in a trance on them for 3 weeks. Also unfertilized eggs CANNOT hatch. Not all breeds want to be Mothers also. Because of the cultivation and protection of Chicken Keepers, there are far more Chickens on earth than Humans. We help more hatch, and work to keep them well-fed, with healthy water, and safe from predators. It's rough in the wild. A Momma hen sometimes sneaks off to hatch a nest of eggs, but then will bring them back to her flock for food and protection. Chicken Keepers work to protect Chicks from aggressive birds and over-breeding. On your numbers - hens continue to ovulate and lay if not Broody, moulting, starved, sick, stressed. Great care is taken to diversify bloodlines, build natural immunity and cold/heat tolerance, and also to preserve heritage breeds. research continues and we are all learning together.
I have backyard chickens they lay when they’re ready and I always leave one of their eggs so they don’t get stressed
