Instant Oatmeal???

[scooby]

I have a ton of those instant oatmeal packets and we dont really eat them too often, and i know cooked oatmeal is ok for treats but these packets are the kind that are flavored, apple & cinnamon and maple & brownsugar, would it be ok for my 12 week olds?

I feed it to my girls all the time when the little kids don't finish it for breakfast. They will love it!

I do to, they really like it!!

I fed mine..well I should say my chickens ate chicken skin that I had cut off the chicken I was going to fry. I put it out for Ruby and Mabel. They didn't get any!!

I think chickens will eat about any thing. Don't you? DJ

Better to cook the oats, I've read. It's something about..well, Diana (dlunicorn) posted something about it. Sorry, I forgot the reason that cooked is better! Geez, cant remember anything these days.

In the mornings I fix a cup of instant oatmel to 2 cups of water in the microwave for 1 minute then I mix in the left over veges from dinner the night before and 1 cup of scratch. They love it
