Can my chickens and ducks eat aubergines?

Hi Just wondering if chickens and ducks can have aubergines? Got one in the fridge going to waste.

I don't see a problem. Mine don't get it very often because I can't stand it! It probably won't be very appealing to them though.

Ok I'll try them with it. I'm same I can't stand it bought a few tried it and thought yuck never again :/

Split them in half lengthwise, coat cut sides in olive oil, sprinkle with s&p, place cut side down on a lined baking sheet and oven roast at 400F until soft (20 minutes or so). You may well change your opinion of them. If not, the chickens will chow that down.

Also known as eggplant here in the States. It won't hurt them raw but mine tend to not eat that much it when offered. I split them and toss them in the run. I think they kind of peck out the seeds and leave the rest.

Oil, spray, or grease a glass baking dish, peel the eggplant/aubergine (unless you are using a Japanese variety. Those skins are sop thin you don't have to peel them, but I do anyway), slice it and make a layer on the bottom of that baking dish. Cover that with tomato sauce spiced up however you like. I like a sauce with onions, garlic, basil, and oregano, but suite yourself. Do another layer of eggplant, then a layer of sauce. Repeat until you are finished. Top with a cheese of your choice. Parmesan is the traditional cheese but many others will work. Bake until the eggplant is cooked. I'd have to look up temps and time, can't remember that off the top of my head, but just google eggplant parmesan to get that.

Both them recipes sound nice I'm definately going to try them but unfortunately I read them to late as I have given the chickens n ducks it now. I roasted it for them, they loved it. But I'm going to get another and try the recipes and hopefully change my mind
