My chickens are laying like CRAZY after a long winter hiatus and even though I score little restaurant scraps these days....they just forage in their main path, and now and then I let them into side gardens to eat the weeds for me. A few times a week I toss them some dry dog food nuggets, plus I feed them weeds I pull up....right now that is mostly Florida Pellitory. I'll freeze some for next winter, then make my first batch of pickled eggs in a few years. I looked at recipes and saw that they are fairly low salt and fairly sweet vs. the briny/vinegary ones I've made in the past.
