Anyone feed their birds rough rice?

I saw that on craigslist also. May be a good filler to mix with regular feed. Really not sure

Anyone feed their birds rough rice?

I do, every now and then. Right now I have 18 six week old chicks running on the yard and about 40 five month olds. I have a one gallon feeder on the ground I fill everyday so they all can eat as they want. I have been mixing about half and half starter feed with chicken scratch. Dont get me wrong they get chick starter everyday too.
My father-inlaw feeds chicks for about 4 weeks chick starter then from there on rough rice and broken rice everyday then eventually laying pellets mixed inlol. They one I get from the rice mill is 8.5 % protein.

I have fed them rough rice in the past and they didn't have any problems either.

I posted a few years ago on BYC about raw rice, etc and here were some responses.

I would like to add to my flock. Any local enablers?

Shhhh. Just don't tell the hubby. If I can sneak them in while he is at work, I don't think he will ever notice. He doesn't actually COUNT them anyway.

Whatcha looking for? Adult birds or chicks? I don't have any adults to get rid of, but I can always hatch you some babies if you want. My parents live about 30 minutes south of DeRidder, so it wouldn't be far of a drive. I have Ameraucanas, black minorcas, and a few silkies laying.

What color egg does a Minorca lay? Do you have a picture of an adult Minorca? Silkies! I don't have any silkies! Are they possible showgirls?

I am at Chik-Fil-A in Lake Charles replying to your post.
