Some safe garden fodder choices for what to feed chickens that are locked up in their chicken run would be: sunflower plant heads and leaves; bolted lettuces, spinach and arugula; the tops of radish, beet, turnip or other greens; or most herbs (e.g. oregano, bee balm, lovage, etc.), though not all herbs are safe.
It's both amusing and gratifying to watch them consume things that are free for the plucking. Chickens will also happily eat a great many things that we grow deliberately in our garden. They invariably get a few outer leaves from each head of lettuce I cut, sometimes with a few bonus slugs included.t's both amusing and gratifying to watch them consume things that are free for the plucking.
