Best Answer

Hens will eat most foods that humans eat, however there are certain foods they should not be given.

Many people feel they should not be fed meat for health reasons, such as passing on diseases, but left to their own devices chickens will eat meat and at times resort to cannibalism

Citrus, potato peels, tea, coffee, salty and sugary food, or rotten food should all be excluded from a hen's diet, and if hens are kept for their eggs, foods should be avoided that have strong odours as those will be passed on to the eggs.
