If I've read correctly, you should NOT give chicks/chickens:
potatoes
avocados
kingworms w heads
egg shells until they are laying
chocolate (why would you??)
flavored yogurt

Am I missing anything else on this list?
 
Uncooked beans of any sort. Eggplant. And too much of any one thing can be toxic, like peas, or clover, alfalfa, which are fine in small quantities are bad if fed too much at once. Raw soybean (edime) is bad as it must be heat treated.

Cant think of more right now...
 
wait, i thought yogurt was good for chickens, whats wrong with it?
