Feed oats??

That's exactly what I feed mine as their "morning treat" each and every morning. I add boiling water to the oats, let it sit, then add some leftover or bruised fruit that was rejected by my kids, and a big glob of fat-free, plain yogurt. They love it, and it's good for them, too.

Thanks! That's exactly what I have planned for them on cold winter mornings. My girls are so spoiled

My chickens love cooked oatmeal (NO salt). I top with plain yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, sometimes cat food for added protein.

I think oats are something like 13% protein. Just be sure not to dilute your protein too much, if you're only feeding 16% layer.

And .....they love the fresh green oat grass if you throw some into their run.

No chemicals, they were grown and stored on/from our farm! So, I fed them a small scoop this afternoon and they went wild...I'll add it to their BOSS....

I add water and let it sit a bit, some say if you let the wet oats "sour", it
ups the protein content to 18%, plus adds probiotics! Gotta try that!
