Chickens should not be fed chocolate, stonefruit pits, onions, avocado, foods high in salt, uncooked potato parts, apple seeds, foods containing alcohol, and tomato plant parts. Common garden plants which are poisonous for chickens include oleanders, daffodils, honeysuckle, hydrangea, poinsettia, mistletoe berries, ivy, tulips and nettles.

There is very little a chicken cannot eat.

Free range hens are seldom found dead after ingesting poisonous plants around the farmyard. They are quite good at recognizing plants that do them harm.

Kitchen scraps other than raw potato peel, rhubarb and tomato leaves are all fine to be given to the hens.

Chickens will eat meat, pasta, fruit of all sorts. Do not feed the hens spoiled food with mold.
