They are?!?
No, I've never fed my girl potato, but I never knew this.
I'm going to to keep an eye on this post!
The things I'm learning.....!:eek:
 
Hey Tricia,
Thanks for the info on the shavings.
Cedar is toxic if they eat it.

I know it's not food, but I put it here in case any other newbies come looking for what to keep away from their flock.​
 
Good idea - thanks!

Potato is ok to feed them if they are cooked first. I feed them to my girls with no problem. I think it is the raw skins that can be bad for them. When I boil fresh eggs I always cut up a potato & boil it with the eggs. This helps them to peel better. Then I give the potato to the chickens as a treat.
 
Avocado is also meant to be poisonous to them as well. I fed it to them once before I knew, and they just refused to eat more than a few pecks of it. Sensible creatures really.
 
Besides feed, what else can you throw to the chickens to eat (keeping in mind anything toxic)?

Millie is thoroughly spoiled, she gets a mix of
laying mash
cracked corn
cocketiel mix
fresh veg ( a leaf/chunk or two of whatever I may have on hand-broccoli, lettuces, etc)
and, of course, oyster shell
