Ok, I'm pretty confused at this point. I have read both here and elsewhere that chickens can eat meat and even hard boiled eggs. Then my DM flipped out when she herd that I tried this... saying that I'm setting them up for egg eating and cannibalism.
I went back online to do more research with a more open mind, and I've found sites that say don't feed them meat.
To be clear, my chickens, who are being raised to be layers, eat the appropriate chicken feed from the feed store not pure meat and eggs... once in a while if I had a little left over food, I'd toss it to them, because I was of the understanding that this was ok, and even good for them.
Is this all a matter of opinion? What do you all think? If I was wrong, I'd love to know, and if this is ok to do, I'd like to find proof so that my mom's mind can be put at ease. Thanks!
