Can I feed the pulp from the juicer?

[native hippie]

I'm not planning on trying this until my chicks are 8 weeks old. We JUICE here! (No I'm not going to be one of THOSE Juice People) Carrots, apples, celery for the most part. But I always feel like such a wastrel when throwing away all that pulp that the juicer has ground up. Can I eventually feed that to my chickens? It's ground very tiny almost to a flour consistency when done, and I was thinking I might use it eventually as a mash for mornings perhaps?

I just feel so guilty throwing out about a gallon of pulp in the garbage twice a week.

I thank God for BYC. I raised chickens a long time ago when I lived in Michigan. However I now live in Central Florida and it's a different animal here doing anything. So I feel blessed to have found all of this knowledge here with all you lovely people.

I juice. Left overs always made dog treats from.
I do use ginger and turmeric in my juices.

They love it all

Kind of off topic but related. What brand juicer do all you 'juicer's' recommend? I've been thinking of getting one.

"Angel" if they still make them. All stainless steel parts and powerful enough motor to do beets etc.

I juice Celery daily and the chickens don't like the pulp. It goes in my compost. I juice 3 to 5 heads of celery daily. It is way too much. I have to throw some of it out. I take all of my veggie waste, including what I cut off the celery and put it in the food processor for my worms and compost. The chickens love that mixture! Sweet Potatoes are a favorite.
