RE: [CHICKENS-101] Re: Feeding food scraps the reality of it all

 

From what I read on the links that were posted, you can feed garden
scraps/veggies from your garden, providing you never take them into the
kitchen.

I've also read articles on-line that say that and I wish I could be
convinced that it was true. I have always fed scraps to my chickens to
supplement their diet of layers' pellets, and I'm really sorry to have to
stop. However, I spoke to the duty vet at DEFRA yesterday and she said
she'd have to check it out. She later came back and said that the ban does
indeed apply to home scraps fed to one's own chickens.

It is exceedingly annoying. It is clearly not enforced much and I'm sure
most people are completely unaware of it. However, since I have this
ridiculous problem with my neighbours, and they may end up persuading the
council to come around to inspect my chickens, I have no choice but to abide
by the law.

Best wishes

Chrissie
