While chickens can technically eat capsicum (bell pepper) seeds, it is generally recommended to remove them before feeding capsicum to your flock.
Here's a breakdown:
- Digestibility: Capsicum seeds can be difficult for chickens to digest properly.
- Potential Issues: Though not toxic, large quantities of seeds could potentially cause digestive upset in some chickens.
Therefore, it is safer and more beneficial to remove the seeds and stems before offering capsicum to your chickens. Chop the capsicum into small, manageable pieces for easy consumption.
