Chickens make wonderful composters, but that doesn't mean they can eat anything and everything that comes out of your kitchen. This little booklet contains the do's and don'ts for feeding kitchen scraps and leftovers to your flock.

Starting with A, this guide walks through the entire alphabet of fruits, vegetables, and protein sources, providing details on the best way to feed certain foods, nutritional information, mistakes and pitfalls to avoid, and which foods to feed with caution or avoid altogether. There is also a page on the Toxic Top 10 and a guide to the use of artificial sweeteners in processed foods. There is also a complete inventory of herbs and spices, and recommendations for using them as dietary supplements for improving the overall health and wellbeing of your flock.
