can we feed raw flour (wheat, sorghum, rye, etc.) to the ladies?

We want to rid ourselves of a large bag of mostly gluten free flour to our birds? We've fed them a small amount and we'd like to finish a 15lb. that's left in the bag.
We don't like the mix for ourselves, but don't want to waste it!

I wouldn't do it. I tried some soy flour on my flock once and it dried up in the crops and lower intestines and caused a few of them slow crops for a couple days.

When I have old flour to give to the chickens I mix it into their regular feed.

I have made a paste with it too (adding water) but it turns into glue in the pan. So I prefer to add the powder to the feed.

It'd take longer, but I bet if you made some quick "bread" and baked it, they'd like it better.

Of course, you may feel silly baking bread for your flock!
