Do chickens like apples???

[Firefyter-Emt]

I have to assume they do, I am just sitting here in my office looking at a bizillion apples on the ground in my back yard and thinking to myself, Hmmm.....

What's a realistic limit?

yes, they like apples, and tomatoes.

I would not feed more then 1/4 apple per bird.

Look for a change in thier stools, if it goes really runny, stop or cut back.

Thanks, I guess I need about 600 chickens then!

if you have the space in the refrig you can bag them and save them for later to feed --- or put them in a cool dark place - like a basement to store and feed as need be.


But your plan A is a good one

mine love them. I keep a few in the fridge so on these hot days they get a cool treat. I put out one to two for my 17. Never had a problem

will they eat the little crab apples, we got plenty that are falling off our old apple tree, they are sour to eat, but maybe I could put good use to them.

mine eat apples that fall off the tree and I'm not going out there and picking the seeds out
