As my garden is grass free, I have just been chatting to my neighbor, of whose massive garden/field I am so envious Evil or Very Mad , he asked me if I wanted any of his grass cuttings for the chicks when we get them.

I just wondered if they would appreciate them in any way or am I way off with this? Embarassed

Yes, you can give them a few grass cuttings, they'll love it, by preference don't give them very long bits of grass or too much of it,

Bit of fresh greenstuff does them good Very Happy

like the others say ~ grass in moderation is good, its the long grass that you have to worry about ~ they can get impacted crops if they eat too much of the long stuff. Mine love any greens ~ lettuce, cabbage, brocolli ~ whatever I have to hand.
