Can chickens eat avocado?
If one of your chickens has already eaten this and you are worried, contact your veterinarian.
Why
Toxic to chickens. Persin affects birds severely; the skin and pit are the worst parts. The fruit contains persin, a substance that is highly toxic to birds and can lead to respiratory distress and heart failure. The skin and pit contain the highest concentrations of this toxin, making them especially dangerous if ingested.
Watch out for
- skin
- pit
- whole fruit
- fermented avocado
