Can Chickens eat Blueberries and Red Grapes?

[mtnhomechick]

Just wondering. I have a bunch and they are so hot. Are these fruits safe?

I gave mine some blueberries today and they seemed to liek them. I would guess that red grapes would be okay, mine like green grapes.

on this chart it says they can eat all kinds of berries.

Mine have been getting red grapes cut into halves and quarters with a scoop of plain yogurt for weeks now. Have given blueberries a few times too but they like grapes better.

Sure, just cut them up into edible size pieces for them.

We have red grape vines in the back yard and the girls jump up and help themselves. They love them!

I haven't tried blueberries, but they turned their nose up at raspberries recently.

Sure if they can beat me to them. I love blueberries!

Mine turn into Olympic jumpers when the blueberries are ripening, LOL. When I had a poor RIR hen dying, the only thing that perked her up was to tell her I had blueberries and it was the last thing she ate before she died. They love them.

Frozen grape halves are some of my girls favorite things. Frozen mixed veggies are another favorite around here too. I guess if you live in cold country it would not be so wonderful but here were it gets well over 100* in the summer almost everyday, it is a welcome treat for them to get frozen goodies.

You bet they can, I don't cut them up it is so much more fun to watch them play catch me and my prize if you can. it also helps with boredom to give them something to do.
