Chickens love fruit - try offering them a grape and you'll see what I mean.  Not sure about oranges, I presume they're alright, somebody else might know.

Hmmm......mine only seem to like what they can't have. ::) Maybe what they find in the garden is enough for them.

I have 6 birds  They love apples which I slice and hand feed them    I once dropped the whole apple and they pounced on it like a shoal of piranahs...it was gone in seconds!!!!

Hi
Mine love apples, grapes, strawberries and even melon  :)
I'm pretty sure they should not be given any citrus fruit.

my chooks love all types of fruit particularly apples, grapes, pears and tomatoes - my husband gets annoyed because he thinks I buy fruit & veg expecially for them!

Mine think it rains strawberries at this time of the year.  When picking them I throw soft ones into their run - it is hilarious to watch them :)
