Stinging nettles.
However, stinging nettle is an excellent provider of a variety of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients for your hens. If you want to test whether or not your hens will eat it, you should first offer it to them in its fresh form. In that case, you may need to simmer it down, similar to how spinach is cooked, or dry it out beforehand.
