Do you feed the spent grain to the poultry?

 

[jubgulia]

Yes, I did feed it to the hens and they loved it. I plan to feed it to the chicks when they're old enough as well. I have some in the freezer waiting and will have some fresh on Saturday. Do you know what age they can start eating the spent grain as treats?
