Answer

Should you feed wild chickens in Mallorca?

Feeding free-ranging chickens in Mallorca may seem harmless, but it usually makes the situation worse by encouraging the birds to stay and breed in the same area. It also adds to the impression that public spaces are an easy food source, which can increase the nuisance for neighbours and businesses.
