Can I "legally" give my chickens leftover uncooked vegetables?

[RATTER15]

The law appears a little unclear on this.

If I have some left over cabbage, can I feed some to my chickens as the law says I cannot feed household vegetable waste!

So how about I buy it for the chickens, we have the inside and they have the outside leaves, being bought for the purpose of feeding the chickens, is this legal.

Sometimes the law is an arse!!!

I remember when I was young, many years ago (I love saying that) and we had chickens in the garden mainly for eggs, but we did eat some at Christmas (sorry RATTER) there was a mouse's nest (should that be mice's nest, since there was more than one mouse?) in the chicken run and we saw one of the hens catch one and eat it - it was very small, probably a baby one. The hen didn't care what she had to eat - anything that was going I reckon. The next egg she laid went to my father, nobody else fancied eating it.

Thanks all, I was always going to feed the veg anyway, I was just interested in the legalities, anyway it appears I am permitted to feed it anyway.
