Porkypie Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I want to make some peckablocks and have a load of peanuts meant for wild birds. Can I add some of these or are they bad for chickens? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutti Frutti Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I think they're OK - I crushed them up and gave them to my sick bird and she was OK. Others have make pekkablocks with them (see here) but I guess, like anything, in moderation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goosey Lucy Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 My girls will hoover up any that drop from the bird feeders when I refill them but I don't give them to them deliberately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grracee Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 My girls will hoover up any that drop from the bird feeders when I refill them but I don't give them to them deliberately. Thats what mine are like too. I have also realised lately that the chickens have clicked onto if a crow comes to the bird table they instantly run underneath because they know the crow will drop a few peanuts on the floor. I think as others have said they are fine but not in huge quanties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
