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 affects their heart and lungs. The skin and pit contain the highest concentrations of this poison, making the entire fruit unsafe to feed.
