As an expert in animal nutrition, I can tell you that chickens, like many animals, can eat bananas. However, bananas should not be a significant part of a chicken's diet. Chickens need a balanced diet that includes protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. While bananas are a good source of vitamins and can be given to chickens occasionally as a treat, they are high in sugar and low in protein, which is not ideal for chickens.

Feeding bananas to chickens can provide some benefits, such as offering a source of dietary fiber and vitamins, but it should be done in moderation. Overfeeding bananas can lead to digestive issues and an imbalance in their diet.

Here is a list of foods that chickens can eat that people have common questions about from the good people at the the Back Yard Chicken Forum. Asparagus Raw or cooked: Okay to feed, but not a favorite. Bananas: High in potassium, a good treat (they usually will not eat the peel).
