Can chickens eat Cream Of Wheat?

Yup, they can eat "Cream of Wheat". For the most part it is just ground Wheat.

Thanks! that's what I figured but just wanted to make sure! I always hear people feeding their chickens oatmeal but never Cream Of Wheat so I figured I would double check!.

I bought a bag of shelled, roasted chestnuts.I don't much care for them.

Can I give them to the chickens and ducks?

Well, don't go by me, but I think wild turkeys eat them, so why not chickens?

 

[Fillyelf]

Ok. I guess I'll give it a try.

Santa is bringing my 12 yo dd a little Serama hen for Christmas. She's about 3 1/2 months old and I just picked her up this morning. She's eating starter right now. Is it okay to feed her fruits/veggies? Is there an age you begin giving them this or can they have it right away? I'm new to chickens so I have a lot to learn!

 

[Crafty-Duck]

I think it would be okay to feed it some fruit and veggies as a treat!
