I planted a 8ftx4ft strawberry patch a couple years ago and I can safely say I give 90% of them to the chickens. I eat maybe 5 or 6 a day when I grab them, but there are so damn many that I just grab about 5 handfuls of not perfect looking ones and throw them to the hens and they love them. I don't get it. They never raid the patch, but the strawberries won't last a minute on the ground when I give the to them. I always just figured they'd eat the patch

Look at you with all those chicken

It's not the strawberries they love. It's the fact that they've trained their bumbling ape to hand deliver the little red triangles directly to them.

It made me giggle so hard watching the small flock of chickens in my parents' yard jumping to get the blueberries off the bushes.
