Can I give my chickens salad dressing?

[TheIvoryKitty]

I have a huge box of leftover iceberg salad from a party last night. It has some Italian vinegar-ish smelling dressing. Will it be bad for my chickens if I give it to them today? Don't want them getting sick

The dressing would be fine. I can't say the same about the iceberg. Not very nutritious (the least nutritious of all lettuces), and tends to give diarrhea to many animals. I know it can be very bad for rabbits.

My girls occasionally get some iceberg - usually mixed with other greens and they seem to tolerate it with no problems - no diarrhea. Don't know that I would feed them just the iceberg - I don't eat that stuff myself. LOL
