vegetable peelings!!!

hi

i know you have to cook potato peelings before giving them to chickens but what about everything else ??

We have  carrot peelings ,parsnips,swede, kale, butternut squash do these all need cooking 1st??

Mine eat everything raw; in fact I find they prefer it than having it cooked. My theory is they ruined my vegetable patch so they obviously like uncooked veg.
I throw in a while cabbage every now and again as it gives them something to do. Oh and beetroot.

we hang our cabbage and cauli etc whole on string from the roof, then sit back and watch. they dance around like boxers in a boxing ring.

Any greenery (cabbage, kale, turnip or swede tops etc) mine get raw and whole. But peelings I cook and whizz up in the food processor into a kind of mash as mine are little madams and refuse to eat them otherwise! But when still warm, its a good treat in winter I find.

Sounds familiar! Mine are spoilt by having normal porridge in the morning and veggie porridge in the afternoon. I come out of the the back door carrying their red saucepan and there is a tremendous clamour at the wire till I get there and then a rush to the gate to greet me...

I cook potato peelings and feed teh rest mixed raw or cooked depending on if I have potatos to cook for them.  I like to give them stuff which is not the same as it was yesterday to keep them interested.

Sometimes it's all cooked and mashed up together, sometimes I leave the bits separate

Some of the girls prefer things cooked & others raw - it's amazing the variety of individual likes and dislikes - but it all gets eaten.
