Chickens can in fact eat nearly everything under the sun. My flock is living proof. I'm not sure where almost all of those "bad" treats on the list come from. Everything is fine in moderation. Apple seeds seem to freak people out because of the trace amount of arsenic found in them. NEWS FLASH!!! There is arsenic in the dirt they are eating off the ground and water they are drinking!!!! The studies that have been done on these "bad" treats are done when the diet is comprised almost completely of the offending food. Any diet that restricted is going to cause issues in a creature that is meant to have variety. Feed your birds whatever your heart desires.
