Grapes

Can anyone tell me whether grapes are a bad idea for chooks? I read recently they are poisonous to dogs and so maybe they are not OK.

PS thanks for all your help on this site, we have kept ex-batts for the last 18 months and everyone's advice has been invaluable. Still learning a bit more every day.

Hi Jaxo

Welcome to the forums

Grapes are ok for hens, some people use them as a way of getting wormer into their girls & boys

Like all treats best not to over do it though

Never heard that about grapes and dogs, one of ours loves fruit of any sort

Will be more careful what I give him in future

Yup, grapes are our girlies favourite snack (I have to cut them in half to make them go further they eat them so fast otherwise!)

our hens hate grapes - they look at them, take one peck and then make a horrid face.

try chopping them in half; mine love them because they're nice and juicy but when I used to give them whole they just turned their beaks up but since I split them in half to reveal the juicyness they're all over them!

Same with oranges; they can't get enough of orange segments
