Any scraps from the table that aren't saved as leftovers go to the chickens along with anything in the fridge that we can't eat, but they can. Things from food prep either go into a stock bag in my freezer, to the chickens or to the compost pile. We no longer throw away much food, if any, at all, and any "garbage" we have is turned into eggs and produce. We even pick up the trimmings from the produce department to give to our chickens as extra feed, which saves it from the garbage, saves us money on chicken feed and makes for more and more nutritious eggs for us. We bring the produce manager a dozen eggs every now and then for his trouble. This is why we love our chickens and garden so much!
