I'm curious about whether all the above apply to ducks/geese? I haven't tried anything but greens with my 2 year old flock of 18 ducks/5 geese (too chicken lol).

I read that somewhere about the beaver castor as well. Kind of gross if you ask me.
I did find that even though "organic" and "all natural" may be on the labels that does not mean the plants were not treated with something you may not want to ingest. I laugh at the labels on egg cartons that say "organic" because it makes me think "Well what would an inorganic egg look like?" and all I can come up with are the plastic Easter eggs.
I think that is why I am removing the grass and making my yard into veggie gardens.
By definition not only are hen eggs organic, but hen eggs are also free from gluten, and completely lacking in Lactose despite being in the dairy isle at the supermarket.I read that somewhere about the beaver castor as well. Kind of gross if you ask me.

I am new as well but was doing some reading in a magazine, (can't remember which one) and it said not to give them mushrooms of any kind. I had given mine mushrooms as we eat a ton of mushrooms and I always have scraps of the stems left over but did stop when I read that. I am curious if anyone else on here has recommendations on fungi for chickens. I feed mine pretty much everything else. (potato skins are always fresh, never green) I also mix up any veggie and fruit scraps with water, apple cider vinegar and meal worms and freeze for them. They love it. I have fed my chickens just about everything though I do limit their meat and carb intake, and don't feed them raw meat, and I will not feed mine chicken...I know lots of people do and it is fine, just not for me. We have two small doggies so they get the meat scraps first and the chickens only do if there is too much to feed to the dogs. My kiddos absolutely love pasta though. I figure too much isn't very good for them though so I don't give them much. Unfortunately mine don't seem to care for peas...go figure. Everybody here farms peas, legumes, flax, canola...etc, so I have gotten tubs of leftover seed that got spilled or the like. I would soak the peas so they were not dried before feeding but they don't seem to care for them. They will pick everything else out and leave the peas...crazy chickens! Also my chickens love the papery skins on garlic and onions. They don't get a lot of it but when I come out with scraps of either that's the first thing they go for. It's kind of a game for them as well. Something about the papery skins they like. One will grab a piece and then start running around playing "chicken keep away" and though there is lots more on the ground still all the other chickens will chase after that one!I am new as well... I haven't tried any meat products other than meal worms so far... They go crazy over salad (tomatoes, cukes, lettuces and finally onions. They turned their noses up on Corn on the cob and they only seem interested in the most tender parts of a cabbage, no outer leaves--but I continue to experiment. As with one of the other posts, not planning on letting them try poultry meat. If and when they give me enough eggs to share, I plan on giving them a shot at scrambled eggs with cheese and mushrooms. I still have a LOT to learn...
