So i was looking into what kind of foods i can giv my chicks for treats and the chart on this website was very informative but in the column next to "raisins" there was just a dot " . "
Anyone know what that means??

Hi,

I think raisins are ok in moderation. Dried fruits contain a high percentage of sugars.

Here's another article you might like to look over:

Avocado skins/pits, green potato skins, apple seeds, citrus, chocolate, salty foods, uncooked raw or dried beans, or anything that has gone moldy.

If you feed your chickens onions, it will give the eggs an off flavor.

Here's a link to a listing of plants & trees that are poisonous:
comprehensive-list-of-poisonous-plants-and-trees.627282

And the same list you saw the raisin dot on lists some foods they should not eat.

You can use those as a guideline and ask about anything specific you're wondering about. I do believe you cannot trust the chickens to know what they should/shouldn't eat because they will sometimes eat things that are harmful to them.
