Can chickens eat bamboo shoots?

[susannalynnwilds]

Just wondering if bamboo shoots are safe for chickens? I have some leftover papaya salad that contains bamboo shoots and I thought it would be a nice treat for them if it's safe..

Hmmmm...there a bit tough and fibrous. I could see them getting stuck in the crop and not moving.

Chop finely would be my thought....if you are talking about the "chunky" type of bamboo shoots in Chinese type food.
