Can you feed lentils to chickens?

Asked by Wiki User

They will eat cooked chicken if it's thrown out with other food scraps, but if you are raising your chickens to eat, it probably will not be a good food to give them often (could affect the taste). It's probably not good for them either. Cracked corn is best.
