I grew up raising chickens, taught by someone who in turn grew up raising chickens...Thankful that there were no lists back in 1993 when I started with chickens. Sorry, not sorry.

All bugs if my cat doesn't eat them first!Almost any bugs you find crawling around your home are ok to feed the chickies. I’ve fed mine stink bugs, ladybugs, etc.

DONT COOK THE MICE! THATS NASTY!!Do you cook the mice?
Sorry. At least I'm trying to be sorry. I might have been able to resist if the "mice: yes" hadn't been the next line under "meat scaps: yes: avoid fat, only feed cooked scraps, and only in moderation"
All feeds in the table should be in moderation. Not just the ham, lemon, meat scraps, pasta, and yogurt.
And why do you think chickens can't digest milk? It was a main protein source in many feed formations in the poultry text books and extension bulletins from the land grant universities in the 1940's, 50's, and 60's - basically, until soy meal became so widely available.
That's kind of a blanket statement... I mean rotisserie over an open campfire with a special person on a starry night is still a stern... NO?DONT COOK THE MICE! THATS NASTY!!
