Due to chickens having an inactive TRPV1 receptor, they cannot taste the capsaicin which is the compound that causes the burning sensation we feel when we eat hot spicy foods. Instead, they can pass the pepper through their digestive system without issues.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_chickens_eat_chili\"><\/span>Can chickens eat chili?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Some avian species do have the receptor for capsaicin, called TRPV1, like mammals. <b>Chickens are lacking this activated receptor and hence feel no burn when eating pepper or chilli<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_chickens_have_cooked_beans\"><\/span>Can chickens have cooked beans?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can also sprout beans and lentils. Once sprouted, they are safe to feed. <b>If you feed your chicken&#8217;s cooked beans or lentils, make sure they are homemade.

Beans need to be soaked in cold water for at least five hours, but ideally overnight. The beans must then be thoroughly rinsed, then boiled in freshwater for at least fifteen minutes.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_chili_do_to_chickens\"><\/span>What does chili do to chickens?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Taste deterrent<\/b> Research reported in July 2001 suggests that the chilli&#8217;s fiery taste deters creatures who are poor at dispersing the plant&#8217;s seeds. Fortunately for the poultry industry, this does not include birds.
