I find my chickens don't spend a lot of time drinking water during the winter, especially when the water freezes quick.
So I go with a supplement of crack corn (protein, builds fat) and keep them on layer pellets for all their nutrients.
Never had any luck feeding straight oats to chicken and game birds, they don't care for it.
Many say it's just a filler to save money.
I have fed dry oatmeal and cornmeal with starter feed to day old chicks.
