We have three large pecan trees in our yard and the girls love when I can find and crack a left over pecan for a treat. Next fall I'll have an abundance of pecans and I was wondering what everyone though about incorporating them as a regular part of their feed. Obviously not as a replacement for their layer pellets but can I put them out daily in a separate container? Obviously lots of protein but would it be too much fat? How much is too much? I try to let them forage and supplement as much as possible. Anything they can eat that I produce at home (organically too) for me is preferable to a diet of strictly purchased manufactured feed that has to be trucked all the way across the country (Thinking in terms of environmental impact)
 
Ship those extras to me - I'll send you some nice wheat for the chickens.

You probably could over feed them on Pecans. At 87% fat and 5% protein they are a good treat for those cold winter days.
