I'm sure others will tell me if I'm wrong but I'm certain they're fine. They're just the cabbage family and it's ok for people to eat them, so I wouldn't have any worries about my hens eating them in moderate quantities.

Unless they were still attached to the caulis growing in my veg patch of course, and then I would be very cross!  :tongue2:

My chickens love these.  I have been quite lucky on a few occasions and have got some from the local market stall for free as they usually just throw the extra leaves off.  When I am feeling flush I treat the chickens to one from the local supermarket.  I must be one of the few customers who searches through the cauliflowers to see which one has the most leaves rather than the biggest cauliflower!
