! colspan="2" | Common food that chickens shouldn't/won't eat
|-
|'''Food'''
|'''Reason'''
|-
|Orange peels
|Too tough for chickens to chew on. Chickens will play with them if they are bored though.
|-
|Watermellon rinds
|Too thick/tough for chickens to chew on
|-I've seen chickens eat watermelon rind right down to the grean part. They love it. Besides chickens don't chew. They swallow whole. That's the reason for the craw and gizzard.
|-
|Rye kernels
|Chickens don't like them
|-
|Chicken
|Because they ''are'' chickens. Although chickens will happily eat chicken and other meat products. After [[Raising_Chickens/Death/Butchering|butchering]] a chicken you can leave the skeleton in the pen and they will pick the bones clean. If done on a large scale, making chicken feed from chickens (especially the brain and spinal cord) can lead to an outbreak of [[w:Transmissible spongiform encephalopathy|encephalopathy]], similar to mad cow disease.
|-
|Carrots
|Chickens can't eat large hard chunks but they will eat carrot peels.
|-
|Curry
|They like it, but it has bad effects on their droppings.
|-
|Banana
|They just don't like them either<sup>[[Talk:Raising Chickens/Feeding#Bananas|Disputed]]</sup>
|-
|Potato Peel
|Chickens normally don't like very many root plants, so they will not usually eat potato peels.
|-
|Tomato
|Not a problem in small quantities. In excess reduces the droppings.
|-
|Apple
|It is fine to give one apple to four birds once every two weeks if given too regular it may give them a stomach upset
|-
|colspan="2" |Feel free to add items that you have found chickens shouldn't or won't eat
