Pulp from Juicer. Is it ok?

[Foghorn]

I juice up apple, cucumber, carrot, lemon, lime, melon and tomato. Would the pulp that the juicer kicks back be ok for my pullets at 6 weeks old? It seems a shame to throw this stuff out if it could be enjoyed by them once in a while.

Seems like a great idea, as long as the pulp doesn't contain anything they shouldn't eat.
Good question, foghorn!
I'd like to hear an answer to this too.

I don't know about the citrus, but I'm assuming the other stuff would be fine. We feed that stuff to them anyway... I wonder if it being pulp would make a difference?

I'd never heard anything about not giving chickens citrus before. I give my girls orange slices periodically, and they thoroughly enjoy them. It's been a year now, and I haven't noticed anything I can directly attribute to orange. Anybody have more details about this?

We give all of the fruit and veggie scapes even out of the jucier and the take it no problem.

We feed a lot of extra veggie to them any thing the can pick up at the fruit stand for free that they a getting rid of we pick it up and feed it along with the 20% chick feed we keep out for them all the time.

The chickens can eat the citris but it will cause hens to lay off laying eggs.
