How often can I feed vegetables?

[Likac66]

Is it ok to feed my chickens vegetables every day? I have so far and then wondered if it was too often. Saturday and Sunday they had a spring green cabbage tied up (one each day) and got through it all. Today I've given them a mixed bowl of peas and spinach that were left over from last night.

I have been limiting corn to just a small handful per bird late afternoon/early evening.

They have pellets, water and grit available all day.

Sounds about right. Easy on the corn/scratch and they will be fine.

I have guinea pigs and a parrot, but the question often comes up for them too. People are these days under the impression that pets need to have a dried biscuit for a "balanced diet" (great marketing jobs, chaps)

I feed veggies to the pets freely: that is, whenever I have some lotty veg (or weeds, for the GPs) the pets get some. Every day in summer.

No ill effects whatsoever, no diarrhoea, nothing.

Makes me miss the days of guinea pigs. I have never had so few weeds as when we had them too.
