Well then if this is the case then we eat roundup in almost every farm animal we eat.

Its probaly not aton and thers not is in some brands Ive never gotten sick before we dont know how acurate the site is but im gonna stay on the safe side and buy a diffrent brand but if you have been feeding them it for a while and you have never had any bad things happen???

I wouldn’t trust that site as it is clearly biased in one direction

That's fine, they don't need it at all but it won't hurt

They do not need it but they do enjoy it.

I looked other places but I couldn’t find a good Awnser. So can chickens eat plain oats or plain oatmeal with just oats nothing else

We soak our oats in bacon grease on very cold days (0 Fahrenheit) to boost calories to help them stay warm. This should be a very rare treat though. Can lead to a fatty heart and liver.
