Approved chicken food list

[WyncoopFlockMom]

I want to feed my girls some bread that is not moldy but old. Was looking for the thread of approved food list but can’t find it.
Can someone help point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

I know bread can be unsafe for ducks and geese not sure about chickens.

Bread can be a treat. Small amounts, as it doesn't really have any nutrition for them. Mine go crazy for it. They get one slice (among the flock, not each) about once a week. It's the only treat they will get on my lap for.

Thank you! Mine eat out of my hand and I can get them to hop up to hand for treats. I had too much bread so I threw it in the garbage since my girls already get enough treats (scratch, mealworm, salad/veggie scraps).

I have given my birds bread as a treat. They love it.
