| Watermellon rinds | Too thick/tough for chickens to chew on |
| Rye kernels | Chickens don't like them |
| Chicken | Because they are chickens. Although chickens will happily eat chicken and other meat products. After butchering a chicken you can leave the skeleton in the pen and they will pick the bones clean. If done on a large scale, making chicken feed from chickens (especially the brain and spinal cord) can lead to an outbreak of encephalopathy, similar to mad cow disease. |
| Carrots | Chickens can't eat large hard chunks but they will eat carrot peels. |
| Curry | They like it, but it has bad effects on their droppings. |
| Banana | They just don't like them eitherDisputed |
| Potato Peel | Chickens normally don't like very many root plants, so they will not usually eat potato peels. |
| Tomato | Not a problem in small quantities. In excess reduces the droppings. |
| Apple | It is fine to give one apple to four birds once every two weeks if given too regular it may give them a stomach upset |
