@cmccullough1390 Looks like they got spoiled big time LOL have you tried giving them boiled lentils? Lentils and beans are great treats as long as they are boiled (then cooled) or sprouted first. Raw beans are bad for them. Anyway, I boiled up a half pound of dried lentils for my chickens and they devoured the whole batch in minutes! My gals also love raw oatmeal. I learned about that treat from the breeder I bought some of my chickies from.

What do you mean when you say "raw" oatmeal? Do you mean the quick oats boiled?

I don't think it's quick oats because they're quite processed probably stone ground oats or steel cut plain

Ok. I never thought about feeding my chickens oats/ oatmeal.

I have 2 EE hens I got from a farm store. They are about 4 1/2 months old. I just got 2 more from a lady who hatched them on her farm. They are 5 months old. I wanted hens but when I look at these two the tails look different and i'm wondering if both are hens? This picture was taken with my phone and isn't very good but this is the two. What do you think?

Here is another picture of the two.
