The huns would probably really enjoy them. However if you try to feed them to your hens, they might find them a little big unless you crush them a little first. (Sorry, couldn't resist.....).

From my experience chickens seem to instinctivly know what is good for them and eat accordingly. If you give them crushed up almonds, don't let that be their sole food. Have other choices available for them, such as garden greens, table scraps, regular chicken feed. They will eat what they want and how much they want. And they will avoid what they don't like. I tried to feed mine fava bean greens last winter and they would not touch it.
