Is it normal for them to go mad for greens?

Mine come when I make a sort of clucking noise too. My 14month old is copying that now, so they run up to her - really cool. She fed them a dandelion leaf yesterday (often pulls them up) - when she realised they were eating it, she said "YUM YUM! and ate the rest herself." Pretty gross ! But yeah it's great to see them dash around - if one strays away from the other two it BOLTS across flapping around squawking until it's near them

I would suspect that greens are more rapidly digested, so that they won't interfere with eating enough pellets, and a good mix of grenery should contain quite a lot of the more subtle ingredients added to pellets anyway, as well as having rather more protein content than you might realise. Apart from the risk of them finding something toxic (relatively slight, they do seem to have some instinctive sense in these matters), and/or the damage they do to things you want to keep, I wouldn't fret about how much green a chook eats.
