What foods should you never feed your chicken?

Answer 1

There is an extensive list of plants that are toxic to poultry. Most free range hens will instinctively avoid these plants when they come across them in a farmyard. If these plants are ground and mixed with pellatized silage, fed to the birds then problems can occur but unless you are making your own bird feed then chances are you would not make such an error. Plants like rhubard leaves, nightshade family like potato leaves and tomato leaves are usually ignored by foraging hens. Even young birds pecking at such plants will be spit out when first tried. I will give you a link for a list of plants that are toxic to your hens.
