Can Chickens Eat Pecans?

Can Chickens Eat Pecans?

Yes, Chickens can eat pecans, but in moderation, as only once a month is good and will not cause any problems for the Chickens, but I do not advise you to offer more than that because pecans, although it contains a lot of vitamins and minerals that benefit the Chickens, but it also contains a percentage High in fat, which may cause obesity and diarrhea for Chickens, and you do not want that of course

You must break the pecans into small pieces before you present them to the Chickens, and you should not display a large amount, only two pecans, and it should also be that the pecans are not the main meal, but rather you should offer an amount of vegetables with pecans to the Chickens because pecans are not considered a basic meal

The diet for the Chickens should consist mainly of vegetables with a small piece of fruit, but it is preferable if the fruit is offered every two days and not every day, and also to offer the Chickens a very small piece of fruit because the high sugar content in the fruit may cause diarrhea and obesity for the Chickens, so it should be Careful
