Can Guinea's eat chilli flakes?

[Blodwyn0419]

Hello.

I have been trying to find info on it but am coming up with nothing. I want to feed my chooks chilli flakes as I recently learned of the benefits. But are Guineas the same when it comes to no heat receptors? I can't feed my chooks without feeding the Guineas so I don't want to risk it if it will do them any harm?

Thanks in advance!

Birds in general can't taste heat, however, most chile flakes contain the chili seeds and those have antinutritional qualities and shouldn't be given to your birds.

Thanks for that! I have a few chilli trees, I will deseed them and dry them out for them then.

Cheers for the info!

Oh yes, the fruits are great, full of vitamins.
