Can chickens eat popcorn?

Yes, but only a little: chickens can eat popcorn. Woodgreen lists plain popcorn among chickens’ favorite treats. UF/IFAS Extension says to avoid fatty, salty and sugary foods, so skip butter, salt and sugar.

How to serve it: plain only, no butter, salt or sugar

Kitchen scraps: The rules depend on where you live. US extension services allow small amounts of table scraps, no more than 10 percent of the daily diet (Oklahoma State). In the UK, it’s illegal to feed kitchen scraps to chickens, even pet hens (RSPCA, APHA). In the EU, Germany’s agriculture ministry (BMLEH) says kitchen and food waste must not be fed to laying hens.
