Only the green ones, IE anything which has leaves.
Oh and roots.
Chickens will eat everything in sight and quite a few things out of sight

This is the crux of the problem, to get good quality eggs, they need to roam

etc etc, so people coop them up and feed them grains etc which causes their
eggs to be like supermarket eggs, IE horrid.
