Would you feed your chickens this?

I made corn muffins in new silicone pans tonight and when they were baking there was a strong chemical smell. The muffins tasted a little like the smell and I cut the tops of the muffins off for us to eat (the part that didn't touch the pan didn't taste bad).

Can I feed the bottoms to the chickens?

Can I feed them chili that is medium spicy?

Well the chili is just fine to feed them! They don't taste hot chillies.

The muffins...

When in doubt....throw it out.

Or try to use it for raccoon bait.

if its something I dont want to eat I wont feed it to my animals. Maybe it would be fine but that just me I wont take the chance. For instance the other day I bought a bag of feed I didnt notice there was a small hole in it when I got ready to open it i heard peeping coming from inside the bag looked in the hole I now see and there are baby mice in it. Back to the store I go and get a replacement bag. The manager said you can have the other bag it will be ok for your chicks. No way. Then I read that the eggs that had salmonella the feed had been tainted with rat feces and thats where the salmonella came from.

Okay...okay...I'll toss them in the compost pile. Grr...I hate waste.

Hi JustMandy, Yeah, I probably wouldn't feed them the muffins. Feed them the peppers though! Birds don't taste capsaicin (the "hot" substance in peppers).

remember what you feed your chickens you end up eating too! in eggs and meat!

Chickens can't taste pepper but the taste can leech into the eggs if it's really strong... so your decision! I, too, wouldn't feed the muffins...
