Is there any warm foods I could feed?

[dani813]

My girls have been chilly in the mornings, and I thought maybe a nice warm meal would make them feel better. Does anyone have suggestions on what they might enjoy?

I cook scratch in the rice cooker. One part scratch, two parts water. It makes a warm, fluffy delicious smelling meal & the hens love it.

You can also give them cooked oatmeal.

ps. welcome to BYC

Mine love apple cinnamon oatmeal.

I have mixed Layena with water and warmed it up in the microwave. It makes a nice warm mash that the chickens love. I'm just not doing it right now because I have chicks that are about 7 weeks old in the flock and I don't want them eating it.

Ditto on cooking scratch in the rice cooker. And, ditto on the "welcome to BYC!"

I increase the protein of the scratch by putting in dry peas or chickpeas. And, since those should really be cooked before feeding . . . .
