What are you not allowed to feed chickens?

Chickens are omnivores. I feed ours their own crushed up egg shells and even some small meat scraps. Coffee grounds and whatever, I no longer compost. I have chickens for that. The eggs are divine. Feeding the shells will improve the shell strength of future eggs. Chickens will even eat each other, but that doesn't sound delicious. I would steer clear of recycling motor oil via chicken feed. Feed them a varied diet of healthy stuff and they will give you a healthy return.

Chickens can be fed two kinds of feed in farms: - grain feed - industrial feed the grain fed chickens are the "vegetarian fed" chickens. These are generally healthier because naturally, chickens are "vegetarians." industrial feed often has ground up pieces of other animals like hooves and bones and other odd and sometimes unhealthy ingredients. So if you have to choice, go with grain fed chicken meat and eggs. Hope that helps!
