canned veggies from the store

is that ok? i bought some corn (no salt added) in the can and i dumped it in their large dish in the run. they went nuts for it. is it ok do feed them stuff from a can? i know some canned foods have a lot of junk in them(sugar, salt. etc) but if not is it ok? it was only 69¢.

i buy my kids the peas, corn, and veg-all in cans - no salt or sugar added. i use it as a treat when i'm out of other things, like lettuce and mealworms. i think it's okay in moderation.

what about beans and what not? they are soft when they come from a can. green beans, peas and carrots, black eyed peas, green beans

I see no problem with any of them.

I give mine just about anything I eat, except chocolate, sugar and anything I know I really shouldn't eat, like meat cured with nitrates or very salty food.

I run a home day care. When the children are done with lunch, there are always some leftovers on their plates. I just combine them and give the chickens a midday treat. Somedays they get carrots, mac n cheese (love it!), apples, etc. Moderation is the key I believe.
