Bread peices

[luvinmychickens]

Can my 4 month old chickens eat little peices of bread?


Thanks!

Yes, at 4 months they should be eating pretty much anything. Don't forget to have grit available for them.

I periodically give my large fowl and bantams pieces of bread for a change of piece. They sure gobble it up.

Not too long ago I saved that on my computer. I asked because it didn't say on there.

I give mine a slice or two a week of whole grain or whole wheat bread. I'm lucky to have fingers left after they are done....it's their very favorite treat!

Hmmm, didn't realize that. Possibly because it's not really the greatest treat as it's not very nutritious at all. But they do love that bread, and I give mine a little now and then for that reason.

I didn't give them much. Just ripped up some crust and I don't know if they really ate it. I think they just pecked at it and made it smaller.
