Homer and Fido love dill more than the others
is it ok to feed them dill a couple of times a week? Or could it be harmful? Like parsley
any input would be greatly appreciated 🌹🐥

Following! Mine all destroy dill. They adore it. I'd no idea there could be too much.

Dexter has dill everyday and it doesn't seem to have done him any harm.
When we were discussing the greens Dexter eats with our vet he mentioned that broccoli and spinach are goitrogens - trigger the release of thyroid stimulating hormones which can lead to goiter - so he said not to give too much of those but he didn't say anything about too much dill or basil. I did not know that about cabbage family plants.

I had better throttle back on the provision of spinach snd broccoli, I offer it most days. I notice though that the flock don't always pay it any attention, it's possible that they are managing their own intake.
Inspired by this thread, I put some dill out for the flock this afternoon. Chocobo tried it first which meant Herman also had to try it .. which meant Mr Hibs & Squeak had to try it ... which meant Eeyore had to observe the proceedings from a safe distance. Looks like the dill is a hit!
