Edamame for Chickens?

[Aozora]

So I was a little late in harvesting my edamame (immature soybeans) this year. I'm popping the beans and they're all a bit brown and soft. They'd be fine to eat, but I prefer mine to be greener and more "toothsome" to eat.

Can I just give them to my mini velociraptors? I assume since a lot of feed uses soybeans it would be fine, but this is a cooked version of an immature soybean.

Soybeans used in chicken feed must be cooked first (not fully cooked, but heat treated) to destroy the enzyme inhibitors, otherwise they will have digestive problems. IIRC, edemame doesn't have this same issue, but I'm not 100% sure either. To be sure, you could cook them, like you mentioned.
