Raspberries are safe and can be a nutritious treat for chickens, providing them with vitamins and antioxidants. However, like all treats, they should be given in moderation and not as a replacement for their regular feed. Ensure the raspberries are clean and free from pesticides before offering.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on to find out more about feeding raspberries to chickens, along with more information on raspberry leaves and what happens if grow raspberries where chickens can get to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just to let you know before we start, we sometimes recommend products which we feel might be helpful for a particular topic.

If you want to give some raspberries to your chickens then they really should be given as an occasional treat a few times a week.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of chickens being like small children and the more treats you give them the more they expect, which could lead to them not eating their regular feed which contains everything they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Many Raspberries Should you Give to Each Chicken?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re giving raspberries to your chickens as a treat two or three average-sized berries per chicken is a good amount to give them as one treat.  It&rsquo;s also a good idea to break them up a bit to make them easier to eat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Too many berries of any type can be overwhelming for a chicken&rsquo;s digestive system and it&rsquo;s not unusual for them to have diarrhoea when they consume too much fruit.<\/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\">Can You Grow Raspberries if You Keep Chickens?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you keep free-range chickens in a garden or allotment space where you&rsquo;re growing raspberries then chances are they will eat all of the berries they can reach in a very short amount of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means no raspberries for you and potentially chickens with messy bottoms!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When you&rsquo;re growing raspberries in a space where chickens can get to them, I would recommend putting netting around the lower section of the plant (but high enough that chickens can&rsquo;t jump up to get the berries).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chickens can jump much higher than many people think, especially when food is involved, so they will potentially be able to get to a bulk of the fruit as it starts to ripen.<\/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\">Will Chickens Eat Raspberry Leaves? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From my experience, chickens aren&rsquo;t interested in eating raspberry leaves and will pick the fruit directly from the bush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re chickens do eat any raspberry leaves, don&rsquo;t worry because the leaves are classed as a non-toxic plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chickens are very good at knowing what&rsquo;s good to eat and what isn&rsquo;t and with raspberry leaves, they&rsquo;re not interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on plants and foods that could be potentially dangerous if eaten by chickens, you might find the following article helpful:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/what-not-to-feed-chickens-the-ultimate-guide\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">What not to feed chickens &ndash; the ultimate guide<\/a><\/strong><\/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\">Chickens Eating Raspberries &ndash; FAQ&rsquo;s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1616760480048\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can Chickens Eat Raspberry Seeds?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The seeds of a raspberry are inside the fruit, so because it&rsquo;s fine for them to eat raspberries (as an occasional treat and in moderation), it&rsquo;s fine for them to eat the seeds.  <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1616766078002\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Will Chickens Destroy My Raspberry Crop?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If you keep chickens in an area where they can easily get to your raspberry crop, then chances are they will pick off each and every berry that they can reach as they appear on the bush.
