what not to give your chickens

[hermione123]

Morning everyone, i keep forgetting about the time zone so hope you will forgive my chirpy call, can anyone give me some information on what not to feed my girls. I have heard that parsley is poisonous and wonder what other food stuffs should not be given, and can they have suet with fruite in, many thanks.

Good morning! You're not alone being in a different time zone, I'm usually online online during the middle of the night for most.
As for foods you can't feed your chickens, there isn't much. They'll eat most stuff. Mine eat a lot of meat and fatty scraps, they absolutely love it weirdly enough.
As for suet, I just did a search, and that appears to be fine. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/622141/feeding-chickens-beef-suet
Found a quite informative thread in regard to poisonous stuff: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/494101/what-is-toxic-to-chickens I don't know much about it personally, but there's some info there.
