Do chickens explode when you feed them uncooked rice?

No, chickens do not explode when you feed them uncooked rice. This is a common myth that has been circulating for years, but it's entirely false.

Here's why:

* Rice does not expand in the stomach: Rice does not expand dramatically in the stomach like some people believe. Chickens have strong digestive systems capable of breaking down grains.

* Rice is safe for chickens: Rice is actually a good source of carbohydrates for chickens. It can be given to them in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind:

* Cooked rice is better: While uncooked rice is not harmful, cooked rice is easier for chickens to digest and is generally preferred.

* Don't overfeed: Any type of food, even rice, can be harmful if given in excessive amounts.

So, feel free to feed your chickens rice (cooked or uncooked), but do so in moderation and as part of a balanced diet. They won't explode!
