Acorns can be toxic in large quantities.....http://www.chickendvm.com/poisonous/oak-tree

Mine readily consume acorns that are of appropriate size. They consume intact acorns. Make certain they are getting enough grit. When the diet otherwise contains lots of minerals, they may be able to handle toxins in the same manner squirrels do.
