Feeding scraps to hens

Indricotherium · 2013-03-08 22:14:13

I often feed my hens scraps that are left over from the dinner. Is it okay to give hens chicken style quorn bits?? They go mad for them, but I'm worries that it might effect them??

I wouldnt think it would do them any harm, my granny used to give her hens the leftover carcass if we had chicken for dinner and they adored it... little canabals!!

Considering that Quorn isn't even meat but textured soya or fungal protein, they'll be fine.
