It&rsquo;s important to understand how different grains can contribute to their diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chickens can safely eat wheat, which offers them beneficial nutrients like protein and carbohydrates. Ideal as a part of a varied diet, wheat should be given in moderation to avoid overweight issues.

It has a very low nutrition value, especially when it is fermented.&nbsp; Although, technically they can eat it, it can have negative consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to note that the chickens who had a controlled diet featuring a lot of wheat bran, had a higher body weight.
