Is slightly moldy feed okay to give pullets?

[Sozoed]

Kept our feed in a sealed bucket that apparently wasn't so sealed. Recent rains came through, and much of the feed got wet. Sun dried it for about a week in large flat container, and most of it looks good. Can I safely give it to our birds?

I would never intentionally give moldy food to any of my birds.

No, I would not risk feeding it, chickens are very affected by micotoxins from mold.

I wouldn't. Have read on here where someone lost their whole flock because of molded food!! Better be safe than sorry!!

 

[Sozoed]

Thank you all! Into the compost it goes!

 

[Clay Valley Farmer]

Just make sure the chickens can't get at the compost...

Don't give moldy food ever - can kill them fast

Sounds like the feed got wet not mold and you saved the feed in time. If mold, you can see the discolor and fuzz.
