So feeding question.
As chickens are omnivores.
Does it hurt them to eat meat every once in awhile??
I’ve seen a growing trend of people feeding their chickens meat scraps.
We’ve even given ours turkey breast carcasses to clean (was cooked). Or oats that soaked up some bacon grease for protein & fat.
But regardless of opinions; I would like to know the science of it.
Whether it’s bad or fine.
I’m in the camp of it’s fine as again they’re omnivores. They eat meat when they get it.
You wouldn’t expect a black bear not to eat meat because they’re an omnivore.
But I don’t want to harm my animals either.
