can my hens eat leftover salisbury steak with onions?

Dang...that sounds good to ME!! I don't know that the chickens would get any of that (but yes - they can have just about any leftover that humans typically eat). Good protein...

 

It will be high in salt content from the onion soup mix but I doubt it would be enough to be a problem. Good protein and they will love it.

 

....chickens will eat anything....and drink water from any puddle....dont worry....

 

mine refuse to eat things like onions, broccoli, banana peels etc. i give them everything, and so far (knock on wood) they've managed to not eat anything bad for them.

 

Quote:I wouldn't risk it because I know how toxic onions, even food that's been cooked with onions is. Our pomeranian ended up with a $500 vet bill when he had to go to the emergency clinic after eating leftovers from a dish that had traces of onions in it. My stupid mistake. But I am very, very cautious about what our animals ingest now. It was an expensive and scary lesson.

 

They can eat it and will thank you for it. Chickens and dogs are different ~ dogs are not supposed to eat onions or raisins which are OK for chickens.

 

It's perfectly fine for them. I routinely feed table scraps--anything left over or peelings from vegetables and fruits, whatever, goes in a bucket for the birds instead of the trash. At the end of the day, the bucket goes out to the coop and the birds go nuts.

I routinely feed onions, raisins, and garlic to dogs and cats with no ill effects. (My pets don't get commercial processed kibble or canned food)

 

I know the biggie is chocolate. We humans can digest it, most animals can't and to them, it's poison.
