Is This The Truth?

When I lived in California my chickens ate olives freshly dropped from the tree with no ill effects.

I think most of those things are okay so long as they are given in small quantities, but in general I agree with the list. I've heard citrus isn't good for chickens, though, and anything fatty or salty isn't good for them.

Potatoes, bean, rice and lentils should be cooked. And never give them anything moldy or rotten or they will have problems with their crops.

I had a bag of treats that had uncooked orange lentils mixed in, & fed it to my Malays as a snack as they were growing up, & had no ill effects.

I believe it had Lentils, peanuts, corn, flaxseeds, Soldierfly larvae, mealworms, & oat groats.

peanuts

I don't understand why the list had peanut shells and peanut butter as ok, but not peanuts.

Same.

Its very odd. The list says, 'NO MEAT SCRAPS.' Why can't they eat meat scraps, they're omnivores for a reason!

I don't doubt it. I'm sure some is fine, but definitely not as a major food source, even cooked ones.

Maybe they'll become hungry for you?

Whoops. I’ve given whole soft apples (w the core), dairy (Greek yogurt), grapes w seeds, & cooked pinto & lentils.

Everyone is still ok.

You’re fine…the original was not very good. Whole apples are fine.

You should see the feeding frenzy around a butchered deer carcass .....
