Treats and Kitchen Scraps
By The Coop Team ยท Updated May 25, 2026
Treats should be under 10% of total daily intake to keep nutrition balanced. Good: leafy greens, berries, watermelon, cooked eggs, mealworms, pumpkin. Avoid: avocado (persin is toxic), raw or dried beans, chocolate, anything moldy, raw potato peels (solanine), citrus in excess, salty/sugary processed food. Onions and garlic in large amounts can taint eggs.
