Leftover Foods That Your Chickens Will Love!

Chickens are wonderful creatures - they are obliviously hilarious and they never fail to put a smile on your face when they have a little mud bath. Furthermore, they are great at eating all your leftover foods that would get wasted, which makes them even greater in my books. It's time to source out some leftover foods that your chickens will love for a lil inexpensive treat.

Here is a list of leftover foods that your chickens will love:

• Cupboard: Scoop out the last of your almond butter, Honey, Oats, Peanut Butter, Cooked Rice

• Fruit: Apples (no pips), Blueberries, Bananas (+ it's peel), Kiwi, Mango and Strawberries

• Herbs: Basil, Chives (in moderation), Ginger and Garlic (in moderation)

• Root Veg: Carrots, Cauliflower, Mushrooms (shop brought only) and Sweet potato
