Can you feed chickens banana peels???

[dipence71]

Just ate a banana and thought hmmm the chickens might like this then checked treat list and said "banana without peal"????

Ours wont touch them. They will eat styrofoam and cardboard but no banana peels!

Mine stick their beaks up at banana peels. But I read a great tip to stick them in your garden around your plants.

I don't feed the peel, I'd just have to go pick it up out of the yard later.

It has crossed my mind to chop it up into small bits though

I've been feeding my chickens banana peals for at least a year. It's actually one of their favorite foods. I haven't noticed any problems, and they are as healthy as cam be. They eat the entire thing, nothing left.

It won't hurt them.
If they eat it...great, no worries.

Hope this helps.

I feed mine bananas they love them but leave the skins so I put them on the compost.

Just out of interest I read that in the UK we eat in a year something like 4 million bananas more than Monkeys... We only eat 4 Monkeys.
