Very wise, oats are very healthy for animals and for humans.
I give mine raw quaker oats mixed with hardboiled egg as an addition to starter from day 1.



They go nuts devouring it, it is good for them too.
I also believe oats prevent pasty butts to some extent.

Yup, raw oatmeal here too, served as treats. I have the old fashioned oats, so I do grind them up a bit with a spoon when the chicks are littler. They love, love, love it.

I've been known to make a warm oatmeal and cornmeal mash on a cold day for all the chickens, too.
