The definition and abbreviation for Potentially Hazardous Food (Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food) or PHF/TCS should be modified to drop the reference to potentially hazardous food and PHF.
Yes, as a treat apples are fine for chickens. Some will say it is best not to feed them too many apples as the seed of an apple has a small amount of arsenic in it. I have an orchard on my property and in the fall, the chickens run there first thing in the morning. Never had a chicken drop dead under an apple tree.
Chickens are omnivores. That means theyâll snarf down just about anything, or at least try to! Iâve seen a hen catch and slurp down a snake like spaghetti. Iâve seen a chicken snatch a toad by itâs leg and all of the other hens go in a raucous chase after it, only, at the end to discover that a toad is not good eating. Chickens also eat less exciting foods, like vegetables, fruits, flowers and grass.
