Serving broccoli to your chickens correctly will make it much safer and more accessible for them to eat.
The first step is washing your broccoli with warm water and vegetable wash. Typically, grocery food is safe, but if someone with dirty hands puts it back, it’s always a good practice.
I recommend you cut up the broccoli before serving it to the chickens. This is to make it easy for the chickens to consume.
You can also boil them if you’d like, although it makes little difference and takes time, so I don’t do it very often. But, it does make the broccoli softer which makes it easier for the chickens to eat.
Additionally, you should avoid putting salt on the broccoli if you’re cooking the broccoli in any way. It can be poison to them. Salt can be bad for the chicken’s digestive system. The same goes for butter and oils.
