>>2530401My experience is that chickens scratch anything and eat lots of stuff that doesn't look like food. Part of it is that they're eating grit on purpose, part of it is that they're about as smart as can of marbles.
Treated wood can contain arsenic. I'm not saying your chickens will get arsenic poisoning, but it seems like something you should consider. Maybe float the question by whoever is your local expert on poultry.
>reee /diy/ hates ""experts""ask someone who actually knows, look up poultry associations etc, don't bother with the bureaucrats who push papers and pretend to be cowboys at the local watering hole
My guess is that results may vary with your choice of treated wood. I wouldn't use treated wood for a cutting board, but my life expectancy is 80 years. Chickens get somewhere around 1/10th of that, so maybe it doesn't matter as much.
>then again, maybe arsenic/whatever bioaccumulates in the eggs>probably overthinking it at this point, but who knows
