Hi.
I have a dozen adorable 6 weeks old now in their run.
I haven't given them any human food yet - and have only started on treats like dried mealworms and ground up oats, corn, and the like.
To start with, I was wondering if it is ok to give them cut up chunks of pineapple. I have a few small ones (baby pineapples) growing on my property and they are too small for me, so I was thinking about cutting them up into chunks as treats.
Is it ok to feed The skin (outside of pineapple), the center core, and the fruit itself.
Is this too rich for young chicks? Will the pieces be too big?
For that matter, I assume it is ok for fully grown chickens, but not sure.
On the same lines, what are the guidelines regarding other fruits like mangos, etc?
Thanks!
