With regard to kitchen scraps, is there anything the chickens shouldn’t eat?
Martha says that they will eat just about everything. She feeds her flock everything from banana peels to grass clippings and they’ll devour it all. She also mentions not to worry about keeping a balance of kitchen scraps and organic chicken feed, that the chickens will empty the feeder when they see fit. -And apparently chickens do not care for onion skins, which is fine. I don’t care for them either. Martha reminds that the girls need fresh water every single day without fail. Our backyard is covered with pea gravel. Is this OK for the chickens? Martha says that the pea gravel is perfect for chickens and, in fact, they love it. It cleans up very easily, just hose it down. As long as the gravel isn’t sharp or feels OK for you to walk on, then the chickens will be just fine.
