Is it safe to feed almond meal?

[thumper76]

I just made a batch of almond milk and was wondering if is it safe to give my hens the left over almond meal. It is ground up almonds, vanilla bean and dates. TIA

I think that is a resounding yes on the almonds and dates - your chickens should love it!! Unsure on the vanilla bean but I don't know why it would hurt them

All I can say is, lucky chickens! Both nuts, vanilla beans, and dates are perfectly fine for the chooks.

You asked my EXACT question! I also add cinnamon to mine, any idea if that is safe too?

 

[Mountain Peeps]

Yes, cinnamon is actually very healthy for chickens. It acts as a breathing stimulate and immune booster.

I am so excited to hear this is ok for them I hate waste so this will be good use of my almond pulp!

If you use real cinnamon (Ceylon) there are a number of benefits for using it but the cinnamon that most stores have is cassia and it less "potent" and may not have all the health benefits as Ceylon.

I love this website! Just made a batch of almond milk and was wondering the same thing, only I sweetened mine with honey. Any objection to that?

Yay!!! I was searching this very question! I make a batch of almond milk weekly and im running out if things to do with the almond meal! Are there any other nuts they should avoid? I usually make a blend of hazelnut, Brazil nut, coconut flesh, cashews and almonds. If any of that is a problem I can easily eliminate it from my milk.
