Food for thought

Hi everyone,
I have been giving my girls some warm oatmeal with cayenne powder and yogurt for the last few mornings since we have had ice and snow. It got me to wondering if anyone fed theirs grits? I have been given a couple boxes of instant grits and was wondering if I should try them out for the girls. Thoughts?

Grits are corn, and your chickens will probably love it. However, use it only as a treat. It's lacking a lot of nutrients that chickens need.

I give them layer pellets as well. I just try to offer them something warm in the morning if it's below 35.

You could use warm water to make a mash from the pellets and not worry about any nutritional imbalance.
