Do not feed them potato peelings and not too much bread, which gives them the runs!.

They also love cooked pasta but be careful as it is loaded with carbs, which will make your hens fat.

Chickens cannot eat raw potato, onion, and garlic.

Your chickens cant have to much acidic vegetables and fruit.

Chickens can eat oyster grit, chickens pellets and other veges

Chooks -- as chickens are known in Australia -- can eat almost everything!

If you are keeping chooks you can feed them the standard oats that you get in pet stores then you can feed them scraps from tea bags, lettuce, all vegetables but keep away from acids, they can also eat meat.

Chicken can eat just about everything from leftovers to carcasses (not recomended). But you can not give them potato pealing or raw potatoes or they will die.

Why do chickens go off the lay?

if they are too old they will go off permanently for just a short (or long) period of time the reasons could be: -not enough food -not enough water -too cold -too hot (our chooks went off the lay dureing the heat wave in summer [i live in Victoria, Australia]) -it it is being bullied buy other chooks (boot polish helps to deteer this behavious, just smear it on the chook) -if it a bit clogged up, constipation (a dose of cod-liver oil down her throaght should get her moveing again) and yeah, that about it


Do layers pellets contain chicken?

Most of the Layer pellets I've checked do not contain any chicken. Typically they contain wheat, rice, other grains , minerals (probably to help offset the acidity of the grains) and sometimes soy or canola. Probably the worst thing about layer pellets is that many contain chemicals to color the egg yolk yellow and probably some genetically modified ingredients, particularly soy & canola. I saw a documentary program some time ago where some chickens were fed pellets that contained up to 50% chicken manure! Don't know if this is still happening but if it is, I wouldn't want to be eating anything from those chooks. Your chooks should do OK on layer pellets provided they also have plenty of clean water and vegetable scraps.
