What Fruits Can Chickens Have
Here’s a secret: melons are basically watermelons’ more boring cousin. But chickens don’t care. They love the seeds, the slimy middle, and the rind. Cantaloupe especially? They’ll go for the seeds first. It’s like a treasure hunt.
Just chop it into manageable chunks. A whole cantaloupe looks like a weird, giant eyeball to them. And they’ll try to peck it, fail, and get frustrated. Don’t be that person.
Stone Fruits? (Peaches, Plums, Cherries, Apricots)
These are fine, but there’s a rule: remove the pit. The pit (the stone) is hard and contains trace amounts of cyanide-related compounds. Also, they can choke on it. Nobody wants that.
Slice up the flesh. They’ll devour it. Peaches are especially beloved—they’re fuzzy, sweet, and messy. Your chickens will look like they’ve been in a food fight. Which, technically, they have.
