 hi all,  some people have told me i must boil up my veg peelings and scraps before i give them to my girls, can anyone help, should i or shouldnt i    

[Elcie]

The only thing I have ever cooked for my girls was porridge in the very cold weather we had.  At the moment they are having veg scraps everyday (mostly cauliflower leaves from the local market stall) and they seem to be ok.

Perhaps someone will tell me this is wrong though

Potato peelings must be cooked, But as far as im aware thats all. The rest can be given raw.

Mine won't eat them raw so I cook all my scraps

mine have had cabbage , broccoli and sweetcorn since sunday all raw . i worked on the theory that they dont bother cooking the grass and dandelion leaves before they eat it so why should i

I cook all the scraps for my girls.  They won't eat them otherwise

I've boiled my veg, should I blitz it or give it as is? When is the best time first thing or as a treat in the afternoon?  Thanks again for the advice.

I never cook mine (I don't give them potato peelings) and mine have it in big chunks. As yours is boiled they will be able to peck some off very easily 
Feed this to them in the afternoon - early evening, this way you are ensuring they have enough of their pellets/mash in the morning to get their correct nutrition.

I cook potatoes and everything else is given uncooked
