Help! My wife is mad at me for feeding the chickens pizza!

He says that package was all chicken breasts!!! THEY ATE THEIR OWN COUSINS!!!! .....OH MY WOW

In your flocks defense, that chicken was a bad egg...

I think you're idea is good for pigs but chicken's don't have the right enzymes to digest such things. I have chickens so I control what they eat and control what my egg is made with. Pesticides and herbicides do get into the egg so to me, why bother having your own hens; it's much easy and cheaper to purchase the eggs.

Uhhhh...because I have a farm................and I have probably had chickens longer than you have been on the planet...

We feed them almost anything we eat save raw meat and onions. We send a neighbor eggs and he drops all his scraps over the fence. I had to ask him not to send raw fish and crawfish shells.

Are shrimp shells okay?

As far as I know shrimp, crawfish, oysters and crab shells Should be good ( plenty of calcium). But not in the quantity the neighbors were dumping.

Happy Mardi Gras!

Wow, Thanks. They shut us down this year and I hadn't even looked up the date. Feb. 16th. ( I'm working that day! )
Guess I'll be listening to Dr. John and Professor Longhair at my station.

I wouldn't be too concerned, although I must say that pizza is not very healthy for chickens. You can send the extras to me, and I'll eat 'em!

You're asking the wrong crowd here. This forum is full of people who have chickens in the house when it gets "too cold." Or takes them to the vet when they are 5 years old and get an illness.

Chickens will regulate their own intake. What they don't like they won't eat. Table scraps have been given to chickens at every farm across the land since the beginning of time.

Glad you attached a pic, I was trying to figure out how they held on.

I'd love to take my Crowella on the Bus. She'd cuss out anyone who looked at us wrong! Not exactly an emotional support animal...

Our chickens LOVE chicken. Our good friends in NC that have had a family farm for generations told us this years ago, and we thought it not quite right at the time, but now we get it after having our own birds. I mean, we don't give it to them often, but when we cook a whole chicken (or turkey for that matter) we always use as much as possible, and they get the giblets and the bones to pick after we boil them for broth. And boy do they love it. Our Brownie the Buckeye is the protein seeker, her breed is known for being rodent eaters, and she is the first on the scene for any bugs or protein treat!
