Would whole grain oatmeal be okay? Not instant or quick oats.

Any luck with your dad? Ditto everyone else, everything I've read says they need chick starter food. I buy mine at Ace Hardware and it isn't expensive. I don't have a receipt, but a week's worth I'm sure was under $4.

This is the kind my babies really seem to be enjoying:
