What you feed your chicken /allergies

[Payton Payne]

If you feed your chicken nuts you need to disclose that. I bought farm eggs and had a terrible reaction. I thought I developed an allergy to eggs I went to the doctor and was tested... not allergic . Didn’t make sence ... so I thought must be something else. Kept eating the eggs and was covered in hives. Later found out the chickens had been fed nuts. I have a severe but allergy. The palms of my hands looked like burnt skin.

Yikes!! I don’t feed my chickens nuts! I don’t think those are good food items to give them as it is!

I don’t feed nuts either, but that’s a good reminder for anyone who does and sells/shares eggs.

WOW, thanks for the head's up! No idea they could affect eggs. Not that I give my chickens nuts or send my eggs out, but still, knowledge is power.

I am not certain the allergens produced by nuts survive the chickens digestive and metabolic processes to become part of eggs. Gluten's from wheat do not survive.

That's an important warning! Thanks for making us aware.

I've never fed my chickens nuts. Now I'll be sure I never do. ...even tho I don't raise enough hens to have the eggs move beyond a very small circle of close family and friends.

I hope the admins will raise this entry to front page, top of the page status so the most possible people will read it.

I'm sorry for your experience but I'm also sorry for the person who gave you those eggs thinking they were doing you a big favor.

With allergies, better safe than sorry....but if someone can show the allergin can’t be passed, that info should also be shared widely.

You seem surprised. This is the site where potatoes, tomatoes, and apple seeds are “poisonous to chickens”.
