Can I let chickens eat spilled pig feed?

[nvdirtfreak]

Hello, my new pig weaners made an awful mess using feed buckets before they got big enough to use the trough, and there is grower pig feed (20% protein) scattered everywhere. The pigs don't seem interested in what's on the ground. Can I kick them out to the pasture for a few hours and let my laying hens in there to clean up? I've heard conflicting things about whether or not hens can eat pig feed. Thanks!

I would let my hens in there and do the cleaning up for sure without concerns. The higher protein contents may cause some soft stools in your chickens, but I do not see any danger. Other option is to sweep up and give that to your chickens in multiple feedings. Not sure how much we are talking about.
