Hen Solo choosing weeds to eat

What plants can you grow that chickens like to eat? My hens (Princess Layer and Hen Solo) like tucking into leafy greens of all descriptions, as well as some weeds. There’s also an update on the AKG Seed Appeal to raise money to help Kew’s Millennium Seed Bank save wild plant species.
