Is Cider Pulp ok?

[MamaDuke0613]

I made a spiced cider yesterday and was wondering if I can give the pulp to my girls? It hasthe pulp of 5lbs of apples, 4 mandarin oranges, cinnamon, ground clove and ground nutmeg. The apple seeds were removed before simmering (I know they can't have those) but I was curious about the oranges and spices.

The pulp from apples and mandarins is generally safe for chickens, but the spices you used—like cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg—might not be the best idea. Some spices can upset their stomachs or cause other issues, so it's best to avoid giving them anything with those spices in it.

If you decide to share the pulp, just make sure it's in moderation and that they seem to enjoy it. Always introduce new foods gradually to see how they react. Enjoy your cider!
