Any mouldy food is detrimental to a chookie's health.

Each day I supplement my chooks feed with peelings from the kitchen. At the moment that consists of;
pulp residue after squeezing orange juice
Pawpaw skin and seeds
sometimes potato skin
Mango skin
outside lettuce leaves
Avocado skin
All is cut up finely and the only thing consistently not consumed are orange seeds. Anything not eaten becomes part of the deep litter of dry lawn clippings that will be used as mulch.
All my birds are healthy. I can't recall how many years this has been my routine.
PS The orange skins are eaten by the cows.

I checked the list out from the link to the magazine and was surprised to see parsley on the list. I hadn't heard that one before. Does anyone know more about this? I have been feeding my firsl a small handful of parsely most days for a month or so. I'll stop but am curious as to why they shouldn't eat it.
