🐔 THE CHOOK SCRAP RULES
Chooks are basically tiny feathered compost bins with absolutely no standards. They’ll eat most things you throw their way — but enthusiasm doesn’t always equal good judgement.
A few things to keep out of the scrap bucket:
🥑 Avocado skin & stone
🥔 Green/raw potato peelings & sprouts
🫘 Raw or dried beans
🍫 Chocolate — sorry girls
🧂 Really salty food
🍺 Alcohol — no Friday knock-offs
🍎 Lots of apple seeds or fruit stones
🤢 Anything mouldy or rotten
🍟 Heaps of processed, fatty or sugary stuff
The general rule: if you wouldn’t eat it because it’s gone feral, don’t make the chooks deal with it.
Veggie scraps, leafy greens, fruit, leftover rice, oats, pumpkin, zucchini and garden odds and ends? Send it.
They’ll scratch it, eat it, poo on it and somehow turn the whole operation into eggs.
