Wow, Neil, thanks. It's as if the scales have fallen from my eyes.I finally see the truth of it. As a plus I now know how to rid my barn of those pesky sparrows. I'll just put rice where they can get it & the chickens can't. hanks again!!!!!!!
That whole "it will swell up & kill them" thing is an internet myth. Think about it. We feed other grains, corn, wheat, oats, rye to chickens regularly. Those grains, like rice, swell up when cooked. Why then would they not kill birds if rice does? Doesn't make sence does it.
