I would like some advice on being a chicken mama

My chicks have been old enough to go outside for a while. This is my first flock, oh and btw my chicks are free ranging.

From what I've read potato peels, tomatoes, and eggplant (something about them being a nightshade plant). My chickens love fruit, but I also read that it could slow down the egg laying process so I don't know.

Congrats on your brood! You'll love being a chicken mama.

You should definitely read the feeding time threads: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewforum.php?id=12

There's TONS of info there about treats, which plants to avoid, and more. Enjoy!
