I'm a little freaked now that I think my roo had an impacted crop...

But we have extra popcorn that we don't eat. Can I give it to the birds???

Everybody seems to love it. Chickens, ducks, especially the sheep (I think because of the salt).

I give it to the chickens occasionally, never had a problem. They eat it, but they're not really crazy about it (probably because I don't butter or salt the stuff that ends up going to the birds!)

We give it occasionally. If you are worried rub it between your hands to make it a bit smaller and make sure they have access to grit. Very Happy
