Just put my month olds outside into the coop. Any advice on what kitchen scraps are not so good for chickens? I know that they won't eat citrus or melon rinds, and there is conflicting information out there about onions and the brassicas. Of course they LOVE leafy greens. Anyone know for sure about toxic plants?

Hi Stephanie and all. I have had some 25 years experience raising poultry, mainly exotic chickens, pheasants, etc on a small farm setting including in suburban back yard gardens. Please include me in all things Chickens North Shore and feel free to use me for any questions.
Ciao

Check out this great and fun educational program.  You rent an incubator, host some eggs to hatching, and then give the chicks back.  Or potentially keep them!

Discussion Forum

Food

Local, organic, rural, and/or urban, food production is a mainstay of life, and doing it well leads to wellness. From farm to kitchen, discussions relating to food--and the community arising around it--belong here.

65 discussions

Transportation

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

5 discussions

Housing

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
