How to raise Backyard Chickens: Re: [CHICKENS-101] How long is too long when feeding grass?

When I feed grass, I always cut it into lengths no more than 3-4 inches long.

I know feeding long grass isn't a good idea for the risk of impacted crop... but when we weed our gardens we throw the weeds into the chicken's pens, and there's always a little bit of grass mixed in.

The chickens have access to plenty of gravel to help grind.

So, how long is too long?
