I give my chickens leftover cooked peas all the time. They love them

I was considered because my boyfriend got sweet peas frozen that weren't organic sorry about that and thank you for responding

No problem....and yes the sweet pea vine that flowers is very toxic.

I got confused sorry... I just love my hensallot and all the results for sweet peas was that plant so I got concerned just thank you for being kind enough to respond to such a dumb question

No such thing as a dumb question here on BYC. You only learn by asking . Enjoy your flock!

I always enjoy my flock they are pets I don't eat them all I can say is I have really weird birds and I mean weird for a chicken I always I had theluck of getting unquie animals but I fed them the peas and they are still alive lol

Peas will kill chickens!!! Well,, that is if the peas are only served at the same time you have let's say a rotisserie chicken!!! Aside from that your good to go.

Thank you so much I have books on what not to feed but they come with a very small list though I've only been raising chickens for 7 years but that was with help with my mother she doesn't know much about chickens I just adore my hens to bits they love to snuggle thanks again for the link I'll make great used of its contents and I had heard about beans being toxicand including soybeans have no nurinets art all thanks again

Green sweet peas are fine. In fact, my chicken feed includes dried peas as a major ingredient. What you DON'T want to feed them are dried beans. Here's a brief list of what not to feed. I've read in multiple places not to feed tomato plants but my birds razed the tomato plants to the ground with no ill effects. That may vary by type of tomato plant or by breed of chickens - I don't know.

I know peas are fine but sweet peas are toxic have you ever fed them sweet peas with no problem
