Can I post a single picklist field into chatter

Hi All,
          I have a requirement, I need to post a single picklist field into chatter on clicking on a button from a visualforce page. 
Please help me out with it.?

If you want to post the change in the picklist field you can setup 'Chatter Feed Tracking'.

Here is an excellent article: https://success.salesforce.com/answers?id=90630000000DCYXAA4

To post from Apex,

//create and insert post
FeedItem post = new FeedItem();
post.Body = 'HelloThere';
post.ParentId = <ID of the Entity where it is posted>;
post.Title = 'FileName';
insert post;

More about FeedItem here: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api.meta/api/sforce_api_objects_feeditem.htm?search_text=FeedItem

Thanks,
Alex.
