Can I Feed my 13 week Olds Raw coconut pieces

[StephanieRose44]

I always have coconuts love them so many uses for Mature and Virgin Cononuts, but I was wondering if I can feed some pieces to my chickens. I have 12 13 Week olds? The white meat, the inner shell and the outer shell fibers?

In moderation you can feed them the white meat no sure about the outer shell fibers.

I wouldn't give them the outer shell fibers, it could cause problems if ingested. A few pieces of the meat now and then as treats is fine, but it shouldn't be a significant part of their diet. Less than 10% of their overall food should be treats, and not all of that should be coconut.

I chopped up some with the thin brown inner shell & they loved it

Yes I just gave them the meat as a snack/treat because, no outer shell fibers wasn’t sure about that. But yes I know I would never just feed them coconut or a majority of coconut for there overall diet. Just figured it would be a yummy treat for them every now and then
