My wife will feed our chicken a variety of cooked grains, but predominatly steamed rice every day usually mixed with some feed or ground flax seed etc. they also free-range. When we were on vacation for three weeks the person who took care of our chickens said he would feed the chickens uncooked rice my wife made the statement that this could cause worms? and she feels it is best to steam rice for them. She will feed our chicks some uncooked rice, a small amount so they have to scratch for it, they love it, she said cooked rice is not good for chicks maybe it plugs them up? I will have to check with her but I believe it could be a digestive issue.
