These provide protein and omega-3 fatty acids without harmful additives. Fresh or frozen sardines, thoroughly cooked and deboned, are also a healthy option. Moderation is key to maintain a balanced diet.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canned sardines are cheap and easy to keep in the cupboard until you need them, and although maybe not quite as nutrient-packed as fresh sardines, they&rsquo;re still excellent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-of-a-can-of-sardines-alongside-fresh-sardines.jpg\" alt=\"image of a can of sardines alongside fresh sardines\" class=\"wp-image-2456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-of-a-can-of-sardines-alongside-fresh-sardines.jpg 900w, https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-of-a-can-of-sardines-alongside-fresh-sardines-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-of-a-can-of-sardines-alongside-fresh-sardines-768x427.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"500\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20900%20500'%3E%3Crect%20width='900'%20height='500'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"image of a can of sardines alongside fresh sardines\" class=\"wp-image-2456 eager-load\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-of-a-can-of-sardines-alongside-fresh-sardines.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-of-a-can-of-sardines-alongside-fresh-sardines.jpg.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-of-a-can-of-sardines-alongside-fresh-sardines.jpg.webp 900w, https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-of-a-can-of-sardines-alongside-fresh-sardines-300x167.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-of-a-can-of-sardines-alongside-fresh-sardines-768x427.jpg.webp 768w\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do go with the fresh option and live in the UK, it&rsquo;s worth keeping in mind that there are laws against feeding chickens any food prepared in a non-vegan kitchen.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/apha-warns-not-to-feed-kitchen-scraps-to-farm-animals-because-of-disease-risk\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" class=\"wpel-icon-right\">Click here for more information on kitchen scrap rules.<i class=\"wpel-icon dashicons-before dashicons-external\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Feed Sardines to Chickens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you&rsquo;re feeding chickens canned sardines, remove them from the can and drain off any excess oil before placing them on a plate or dish from which the chickens can eat. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Break them up into chunks, but don&rsquo;t worry about mashing them too much because the chickens will pick at the flesh with their beaks.<\/p><p><i>This article was first published on May 26, 2021 by Pentagon-Pets.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is fine for the chicken to eat the whole sardine, including all of the bones, because they&rsquo;re soft, and it&rsquo;s the bones that contain all the calcium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>One standard-sized can of sardines will be enough as a treat for two or three average-sized chickens.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When my chickens are going through a molt, I also sprinkle over a spoon of <a href=\"https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/verm-x-for-chickens-how-and-when-to-use-it\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><strong>Verm X pellets for molting birds<\/strong><\/a>, for an extra nutrient boost when they need it most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Often Should You Feed Sardines to Chickens? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A complete chicken feed contains all of the nutrients a chicken needs to stay healthy and to provide them with enough energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sardines should be treated as an occasional treat one or two times a week or as a pick-me-up for a chicken who might need an extra boost in nutrients.<\/strong><\/p><p><i>Pentagon Pet is the owner of this article that was first published on May 26, 2021.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are certain times when I feed my chickens sardines more regularly to give them a boost; these include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>During molting, if the chicken looks lethargic.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>If they&rsquo;re struggling to lay or are producing soft eggs.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>If we take on a new ex-caged hen.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I find sardines are perfect for older and ex-caged hens because they can have problems with soft or brittle eggs even when they&rsquo;re on layer feed. In addition, sardines contain a good amount of calcium and can boost the birds when they need it most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s important to point out that although home remedies like sardines can help to give them a nutrient boost, they can&rsquo;t cure illness.  So if you have an unwell bird and you don&rsquo;t know why, always seek veterinary advice first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Might Also Like<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope this post has helped you to find out more about feeding sardines to chickens,  you might also like the following articles too:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/best-treat-feeders-for-chickens\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><strong>Best treat feeders for chickens<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/can-chickens-eat-raspberries\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Can chickens eat raspberries (is it safe)? <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/feeding-chickens-cucumber-the-full-facts\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Feeding Chickens Cucumber (The Full Facts)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/can-you-feed-chicken-to-chickens-an-ethical-debate\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Can You Feed Chicken to Chickens &ndash;
