All these leftovers should not be thrown away, but rather set aside for my chickens and then placed in their feeders. 03:42 – Chickens are omnivorous: they eat grass, cereals, small insects, snails, snail shells and even some pieces of meat, all following their natural instinct and accompanied by feed, very important for their diet and therefore not to be replaced with kitchen leftovers. 06:48 – An important food for chickens is grass, rich in proteins and essential in chicken coops like mine, with a sandy bottom. Even lettuce leaves (unseasoned of course) can be healthy food for chickens. 08:10 – Another good food for chickens is bread, which must be dry, not soft, and should be given to chickens infrequently, as it could make the animals fat and cause episodes of diarrhea. 09:15 – Foods to avoid: moldy foods and rotten foods, sweets, chocolate, sugar, dairy products, salt and seasoned foods. Avoid feeding them raw meat or raw eggs. Potatoes and potato peels, celery, parsley, cauliflower, tomatoes, as well as aubergines and onions. Wisteria, ivy, hydrangea and oleander are harmful plants for chickens. 12:30 – Chickens do not have saliva. So fresh water is very important for their diet, it helps them swallow and digest food. 13:33 – What do you think? What did I forget? And thanks to Matilde for her help in this video!
