Greens / Treats

Hi

Please could you help me, are greens fed to hens as a necessity or a treat?

My hens do not free range around the garden, they have 2 runs.  A smaller run which they are in during the time I am at work, and a larger run which they are let into once I return home.

They have access to their layer pellets all day long.

Late afternoon/early evening I will throw some greenery into the run. I vary what I give to them (freshly snipped grass, carrot tops, green vegetables (raw/cooked), dandelion leaves).

Is this greenery that I am giving them a treat or is it part of their daily required diet?

I have been googling this and have confused myself! 

I have ordered flubenvet in order to worm the hens and have read online that you should not feed treats whilst in the worming process.  I am trying to establish if I should continue to feed the greens whilst I am worming them.


Many thanks in advance for your help/advice 

yes everything that is not layers is a treat. I give mine some at the end of the day same as you.

I also give them mixed corn

good luck
ps they will sulk for a few days when you dont give them treats
