Keep in mind that one of the things to always practice as a responsible pet owner is to provide good quality food to our fur babies.
Taking care of pets is not one easy task.
Food considerations should always be kept in mind.
The same thing goes towards our feathered friends.
To feed one whole avocado to a single chicken might be disastrous, but a piece of avocado to a group of chickens might just be the right proportion.
Snacks to Avoid and Snacks to Devour
Thankfully, after countless experiments performed and years of research by scientists, we now have the answer to whether avocados can be included in the chicken’s diet.

No more second-guessing, as studies have shown that avocados are totally edible for chickens.
But of course, as a golden rule in everything, consumption has to be in moderation, and with the avocado’s skin and pit wholly removed, as 0persin can be found the most in these parts.

One of the food for thoughts the scientists nibbled on was Persin’s effect contained by avocados once eaten by chickens.
For humans, it definitely is a good source of antioxidants. But for chickens, it should be digested in moderation.

If chickens consumed too much toxin, it might incur complications like respiratory problems.
And the worst-case scenario would be the death of your poultry.
· Apple seeds — these seeds contain cyanide. If a little cyanide dose can kill a person, what more for a bit of creature with little to no tolerance? Mark this out the list too.
· Onions — bulb onions have toxins called Thiosulfate. The effects of onions will not differ, be it cooked, raw, or even dehydrated. Thiosulfate kills off red blood cells. Imagine having a large amount of intake, and the result will undoubtedly lead to nowhere but death.
· Leaves — avoid tomato, rhubarb leaves, and eggplant at all costs. These leaves carry high doses of toxicity.
· Fried foods that are sweet or salty — even in human consumption, it is highly recommended to have them moderated.
· Chocolate, caffeine, tea bags — most animals can never withstand and tolerate chocolate’s toxicity. Avoid the mishap by keeping it out of a beak’s reach.
