Is it okay if they eat...?

[Bessie1994Snider]

I have 10 4 week old chicks who love to eat petals of our apple tree. Is that ok and should i avoid anything else?

Bessie, here is the link to the official BYC treats chart. At the bottom of it are foods that you should not feed your chickens.
Have fun!

I would think that would be fine as long as you haven't sprayed the tree with any pesticides or fertilizer. I know 'most' apple trees require a lot of spraying.

It should be fine if they have grit in their diet.
