🌿🐔 How does giving fresh grass and greens reduce chicken stress?
Many people may think that fresh grass and greens are only supplements for chicken, but the fact 🌱 fresh vegetables and fresh grass can help reduce stress, increase happiness, and promote the natural behavior of chickens is remarkable.
Let's see why chickens that eat fresh grass and leafy greens look better tempered than chickens that only eat leafy food. 🥬🐔
🌾 1. Allows chickens to show their natural behavior.

✅ Hanging vegetables or putting fresh grass for the chicken to peck to play.
✅ helps chickens spend their time in good use.
✅ Reduce boredom inside the coop.
✅ Reduce the stress of being in a confined space.
When a chicken has something to do, aggressive behavior decreases accordingly.

Stressed or bored chickens often express themselves with
❌ Peck your hair, buddy.
❌. Chase each other.

Having greens to peck for during the day distracts, allowing chickens to spend their energy on foraging instead of bullying their peers in the herd.
