Can I give my chickens blueberry scraps?

[cluckmecoop7]

I recently picked a whole bunch of wild blueberries. I just finished sorting them and I am wondering if it would be ok to give my flock the scraps?

1. Blueberry leaves
2. Blueberry stems
3. Squished/mushy berries.
4. A few little grubs/worms.

Thank you!

I would, they may not clean it all up but if there are grubs included, they will be happy chickens/peeps!

Not many grubs at all. And they all are teeny tiny.

They should be delighted!

my birbs love anything to do with blueberries, grubs would be like sprinkles on ice cream!

Same! My girls adore blueberry scraps and the whole berry.... if you freeze them slightly they make the best little summer treats for hot days.

Sounds like a treat to me.

I picked some blueberries the other day and fed my chickens the ones I didn’t want along with the scraps. So long they are not moldy or rotten, they should be fine. My hens loved theirs, and they are perhaps the most spoiled flock in the world.

They’ll probably love them. I used to have a hen that blueberries were her favorite treat. Whenever she saw them she would be pushing all of the bigger birds out of the way to get as many as she could.
