Chicken scraps??

[AbbyTravers]

Hi. I was just wondering what are some different things I can give my chickens. I don't like to waste the food so the good stuff I give to my chickens. Like popcorn etc. Any ideas? Thanks.

We hang a cabbage in the run, we have also gave them pumpkins (split), apples pretty much any garden vegies. Obviously left over bread I mix it up with egg shells. If an egg breaks I put it in with the bread or whatever I have in their bucket mix it up and cook it for about a 1:30. The egg shells are good for their crop.

I have found that chickens will eat almost any food item they can get their beaks around, besides potato and carrot scrapings. I don't think you are supposed to feed them garlic or onions though, and we try to avoid giving them chicken to eat.

Anything we eat, the chickens get the leftovers. So far there have been no problems. ; ) We happy, they happy, everybody happy!
