Can chickens eat capsicum?

Why

Bell peppers are non-toxic and provide vitamins and hydration, but the seeds and stems should be removed to prevent choking or digestive upset. They should only be offered as an occasional supplement to a balanced diet rather than a main food source.

If you do feed it

• Remove all seeds and stems before feeding to avoid choking hazards.
• Chop the peppers into small, manageable pieces for easier eating.
• Limit treats to no more than 10% of the chicken's total daily food intake.
• Ensure the peppers are fresh and free from mold or rot.

Watch out for

• seeds
• stems
• sweetened or seasoned versions
• moldy peppers
