Can chickens eat moss?

Post by sazchops »

Probably a daft question but I just thought I'd check. Part of my drive is covered in moss so I thought I could scrape it up and give it to my chickens to play with, It'll probably have lots of bugs and bits of gravel mixed in.
What do you think? >dum<

When we extended our run, the grass in the new bit was quite mossy. They've destroyed the grass and uprooted the moss which they have seemed to leave just to dry out. Can't see that moss wuld do them any harm though, especially if it has tasy bugs in it.
