Can they eat macaroni salad?

[sunny & the 5 egg layers]

Can my chickens eat macaroni salad? There is mayonnaise, pasta, peppers and cucumbers in it.

Thank you.

My take on it is: when in doubt, offer it. If they don't like it, they won't eat it. If they do, its probably fine for them to eat it.

For future reference, here's what a bird can't eat, and the reasons why

Mine love leftover mac and cheese and other pasta salads. They would take that stuff over BOSS anyday.

I don't think I've ever seen any 'unwanted' macaroni salad or potato salad in this house. They are big favorites. DH would probably give me a big stinkeye if I suggested giving any of that to the chicks. lol

Good to know they can eat it though, just in case...

Mine love Cole Slaw(Mayo, little apple cider) chilled for a late day snack! lol

never thought about giving a macaroni salad or mac and cheese but now that I've read I think I'll give it a try we always have leftovers of some type around here what a better way to use it up then to feed your chickens
