Now that I got your attention.... We've been raising chickens for about a year. We have 7 hens and one rooster. I'm always looking for cheap or free alternatives to feed them. The idea dawned on me that every time I'm out fishing I catch quite a few creek chubs. Why not keep them and toss them in to the chickens? From a quick online search the opinions vary greatly on feeding chickens raw fish. Bones seem to be the big topic of debate. If I can simply toss them in, it seems like a quick easy source of protein for them, but I'm not going to take the time to cook, prepare or debone them in any way. It just wouldn't be worth the effort.
