Can you feed your chickens peanut shells?

[sunny & the 5 egg layers]

Can you? I dont want to throw them away if our chickens can eat them.

They likely wouldn't eat them unless there's a lot of peanut fragments still inside. They're very fibrous and have little food value.

They make great litter. We used them for years until they becaqme too expensive for such use. I assume they found a better, more profitable, use for them. A little dusty when first put down.

Mine won't eat the shells but they love the nuts!!
