Chickens as miniature trash compactors – they will eat just about anything you give them, but there are some things that aren’t good for them. Here is a list of things that you should not feed your chickens:
1. Raw Green Potato Peels
They contain a toxic substance called Solanine which affects the nervous system.
2. Citrus
Build up of citric acid and vitamin C often leads to feather plucking.
3. Onions
Contains a toxin substance called thiosulphate that destroys red blood cells.
4. Salty Foods
Some salt is okay, but too much can be deadly.
5. Chocolate
It contains methylxanthines and theobromine, which are toxic to birds and many other pets.
