the things your chickens WILL NOT eat

Hey

Raw potatoes and their peels are toxic. A more scientifically minded person could tell you why exactly.

But basically if you wouldn't eat it, don't give it to the chickens.

Mine won't eat the raw carrots, but love the greens. Bananas get the turned up nose, but somehow they disappear when I leave.

They all went crazy over fresh corn on the cob, too bad it's out of season now. I should have frozen some for them!

worms. they look at them with utter disdain but used to go crazy over them when they chicks.

banana peels

Cows, horses, goats, donkeys, dogs, cats and humans. They eyeball em sizing them up. Let any in the list fall over dead and all bets are off.

Mine are the same way. Worms are totally ignored. Grubs on the other hand cause an all out war

Other then worms the only thing mine have refused so far is a mash layer feed.

Mine slurp worms like spaghetti noodles! If I announce I've found a worm, the hens will stampede over to get it!
