Chickenlicken Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I’m just cooking and was wondering whether i could boil my non green potato peels and carrot tops for the hens? There is only a small amount. I’d not safe, then they will head for my wormery! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I would stay away from anything cooked. Unlike humans, chickens can digest uncooked greens just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I can't see that you'd need to feed them potato skins - just stick to their pellets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenlicken Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 Okey dokey. Into the compost bin they will go. The hens are doing well. They let me handle them, and will now follow me from the run to the fenced area whilst I do ‘maintenance ‘ in the run, which today involved adding horse bedding ( like Aubiose). I even crawled through the door to arrange it inside( luckily no one locked me in there!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
