Almost missed your post, I have not had chickens for years , but when I did
I would feed them leftovers, almost anything, from the refrig., not sure if that included bananas.

We have two rescue horses, three chickens, two cats and a dog. I found this forum while I was planning my visit to the NY Farm Show in Syracuse. I'm so glad - I need all the advice I can get!

Good Luck with your new farm from another CNY resident, also my daughters first horse was a rescue horse (foundered),We have him for eight years now and is in good condition at 28+ years old.
P.S.If you post this question in the small livestock section, you will probably get more replies to your question
