Hey girls,
( EDIT for clarity:: I have not ever given ANY avocado to my chickens before -- I have just acquired this bowl of scraps from emptying the fridge and making dinner last night 01/02/21 )
I have 14 chickens and 7 ducks (21 birds) and I am new-ish to homesteading (1-year), and I have seen a lot of negative things regarding avocado, ESPECIALLY the skins.
I have this bowl of undesirables from the fridge.
Is a smaller amount of avocado okay? Like 1 avo chopped into 1/2-IN chunks (1.25-CM) mixed with maybe 1 gallon (4 litre) volume bowl of other stuff? (Tomato, soft apples, floppy basil, stale bread bits, vinegar/olive oil/chili flakes {week old scraps from the fridge} ). I like to give my birds treaty foods 1 or 2 times per week but don't want to give them bad food.
I have seen varying info about avocado ingestion for birds, just curious if anyone maybe gives avo to their birds, and IF SO how much / how often ?? Thank you ❤
