Most dry food has grains - by the way cats and dogs don't eat grains, peas, squash, etc. We purchase grain free dry pet food, buy whole chicken and cook it - less expensive than canned food and more healthful. An egg yolk is also good for cats - not sure about dogs. Lots of fresh - non tap water as well.

NO peppers, garlic, oil/greasy foods, and onions though.s long as its not medicated chick starter than they should be fine. But I do recommend getting Flock feed. Its food for Chicken, Ducks, Geese and Turkeys. It is prob the best food for your chickens/ducks to have seeing as you are keeping them in the same pen. I hope this helped.

Is Chicken Manure Bad For Dogs? To help keep your pooch safe, learn the effects of chicken poop and manure on your dog. Chickens don’t actually urinate, and instead excrete everything in one go. The resulting chicken poop is high in N-P-K, making it great for manure.Manure from animals that eat meat should be avoided because it can contain bacteria that can spread to humans.Chickens are omnivores, but if given a mostly vegetarian diet their manure is generally free from these bacteria. Even so, chicken poop can contain bacteria like salmonella.If eaten by your dog, it can cause diarrhoea, and other than the resulting mess, it can be spread from your pup to you.ot all chickens carry the bacteria though, so if you have chickens there is no reason not to have a dog, but it’s a good idea to discourage your dog from eating chicken faeces if you can, if only for their smelly breath! Chicken manure is “hot”, and must be composted to avoid burning the plants.

The Poultry Forum Chickens used to be kept just on meat and scraps when I was a kid. Any left overs--including meat and bones went to them.They will eat frogs, mice etc.(all meat) Id be happier giving them 'meat' cat food than biscuit form as dried foods of any type can swell and cause gut obstruction. All the treats mine get is an occasional dried meal worm if I need to catch them!

- Solution +(1) The molecular ion Li 2 has one valence electron, which should be placed in the 2 s σ, which is a bonding MO. The valence electron configuration is (2 s σ) 1, which represents one unpaired electron. N = 1 and N * = 0. Bond order = 12 (1 – 0) = 1/2. The molecular ion is stable in the gas phase. (2) The molecule Be 2 has four valence electrons, which are placed in the 2 s σ and 2 s σ* MOs. The valence electron configuration is (2 s σ) 2 (2 s σ*) 2, which represents full pairing of electrons. N = 2 and N * = 2. Bond order = 1 (2 – 2) = 0. 2 The MO theory predicts no chemical bond.

What NOT to Feed Chickens: 7 Things to Avoid Our goats are rather picky, and they only like choice items such as watermelon rind or cornstalks. However our chickens can be depended upon to eat pretty much everything–especially veggie trimmings or leftover dairy items (like whey or yogurt), which is fabulous considering it cuts down on the chicken feed bill.t got me to thinking, so I asked the folks on The Prairie Homestead Facebook page if their girls usually eat citrus. I got a bunch of differing responses, but the consensus seems to be that most chickens don’t like citrus peelings, and some folks even report that feeding citrus can result in soft shells.
