Can I feed them meat?

Is leftover cooked meat ok to feed my laying chickens?

 

[joebryant]

Yes.
Anything you can feed a dinosaur, you can feed a chicken.

Yup--we had steak for supper tonight and they're gonna get scraps tomorrow morning.

Heck, they'd eat carion in the wild, why wouldn't they eat cooked meat in captivity?

I sure hope so, because I feed mine girls a bunch of leftovers today, and The leftovers included a lot of cooked meat. Chickens are two legged garbage disposals. I only know of a couple of things that the girls wont eat. They don't don't eat citrus rinds and corn cobs.

That's the best part about chickens and then they turn the food into eggs!! I give them everything that won't get eaten. I can't believe how much they help. Love my girls!

Just make sure your fingers don't get in the way after they figure out what you have for them!!!!

There another thread floating around here about them eating mice, too.

Joe has it right. If my girls are free-ranging and they see me coming with the "goodie bucket" from the house, think Jurasic Park and a herd of v-rators spotting prey.
