[leghorn890]

I was just looking to know can you give chickens vegetable peels and off cuts?? And if so what vegetables??

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Yes, chickens love veggies, tomatoes, fruits, meat, berries, potatoes, all kinds of things. I like to cut mine up to make it easier for them to eat.

Here is our treats chart so you can see what is good and not good for your birds...

Pretty much any vegetable but if it isn't tender like lettuce, it needs to be cut up into bite size pieces. They'll ignore whole carrots and broccoli stalks but if chopped finely enough to make it down the esophagus they'll eat it all.

Welcome to BYC - TwoCrows has provided the 'treat' list. Goodies should generally be no more than 10 % of the diet to assure proper nutrition.
