can you feed you chickens left over fruit and veggies???

I hear some do this. Is it safe for them?

That depends on what your leftovers consist of. A lot of grease, salt, sugar is not healthy for chickens (just like people, lol). And you need to limit the amount of scraps you give them to no more than 10% of their diet because you want them to eat their nutritionally balanced feed and not fill up on "junk food" (again, just like people).

Here's a link to a chart of healthy (and not so healthy) treats you might like to see:

Hope that helps!
