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.

You bet and that will make you popular with your girls...

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.

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...

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.

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
