What Not To Feed Your Chickens

Hey Chicken Raising Chicks,

Today I am going to share with you what foods to that you should not feed your chickens. Some of these may be surprising but they are true.

We (before finding this list) have feed our chickens several of the foods on here. Thankfully, it wasn't a large quantity, but still, it wasn't good for them. We want our chickens to be as healthy as possible, so we try and keep them happy with foods that are safe to eat.

      Apple seeds

 Apricots 

      Artichokes 

   Avocados

           Balsam Apple 

        Balsam Pear 

      Buckwheat 

Catcus

 Cherries

Chives

      Chocolate 

   Clovers 

         Dried Beans

    Eggplant

      Fast Food 

Flax

             Flower seeds

 Garlic 

Holly

    Ivy 

   Jasmine

         Junk Food  

Kale

Leeks

         Lima Beans

    Mistletoe

           Moldy Foods 

        Mushrooms 

     Mustard    

    Oleander

Onions 

Oranges

Parsnip

Peaches
Peanuts

Peppers 

Plums    

Potatoes

Raw meat

Rhubarb

Rotten or spoiled foods

Sage

Soybeans

Sugar beet

Sunflower

 Tomatoes

These are very odd things and when I read these I was very surprised. As I said, we have fed our chickens many of these foods, especially the vegetables.

Please be on the lookout for my next post What Your Chickens Can Eat. And remember, if your chickens eat something on this list by mistake, or you have fed it to them before, don't worry. It isn't good for them and we need to try to keep their diets as safe as possible, but in small quantities, it isn't the end of the world either.

Well thanks for stopping by and hope ya'll will come back soon,

Thanks-
