I keep seeing people talk about giving their birds oatmeal. What do you serve it in? I tried a flat pan and it got walked in and bedding mixed in and mostly ignored after that. I'd like to start giving them some wet stuff and was thinking of using the trough feeders unless someone here has a better idea.
 
I seperate it into two bowls, just regular ol' cereal bowls, so they're not all trying to get at the same bowl. I have 18 chickens. I also let it cool to warmish before feeding it. My chickens are pigs and I'm afraid they'll gulp it and it'll be too hot.
 
We have two bowls that are the chickens bowls. They are just regular cereal bowls, but they stay outside.
You can try putting a little bit of feed on top of the oatmeal to help them realize that it is food. Once one gets brave and tries it they will all be gulping it up.
