2nd opinion needed - replacing wheat with rice?

[Butchers Wife]

If you have a rodent problem, chickens will eat the dead ones after a day or so.

Does anyone know if chickens will eat un-hulled rice? Carolin Gold rice does really well here but we couldn't grow enough to justify having it processed. I put a lot of effort into keeping the chickens out of the rice but never thought to just let them have it.

They'll eat the whole plant. Let them have it all!

Flaxseed is high in protein, maybe 25%, if I remember correctly. Not as high as soy.

According to what I read, it's 18% protein & 42% fat.
