Can I feed my chickens peanut shells?

[SB813]

Not sure if they did this before the styrofoam "peanuts", but the shells would make a decent packaging filler/cushion. I don't know I'd ship 6 jars of homemade tomato sauce with them, but less fragile things it would probably work great for. Reusable/compostable.

I have a friend with a severe peanut allergy, if she opened a package filled with peanut shells she would at the least spend hours decontaminating her home, at worst end up in the hospital. If you use shells as packing material please know the recipient doesn’t have a peanut allergy.
