[snowflake]

I picked up some soon to be outdated almonds, they are rancid, is it OK ti feed to chickens? Don't want to make them sick, but would like to put nut to some use.

I would never feed rancid oil or fat to chickens. It's bad for them. Just put them in the compost pile and use that great compost to feed your garden. They'll be adding minerals to your soil, along with other things, so your garden plants will be healthier and your food will be more nutritious.

Rancid nuts I have heard are VERY toxic.

I keep my nuts in the freezer with great success now. Hardly ever have to toss them now.
