Can I feed my chickens quaker oats

Welcome to BYC! Please make yourself at home and we are here to help.

Oh yes! Oats make a wonderful treat for chickens. Mine love oats. Just make sure that oats as well as other treats take up no less than 10% of their daily diet.

Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided to join our flock. X2 on Mountain Peeps advice; chickens love oats but limit the amount of oats you give them or you will have fat and unhealthy chickens. ) If you haven't done so already, definitely check out our Learning Center at https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center. There is loads of useful information there. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck with your flock.

Hi, welcome to BYC!

The Learning Center has a great healthy treat chart you might want to look at:

x3 on limiting their treats, if chickens get overweight it will affect their laying and limit their mobility.

Good luck with your flock, thanks for joining us!
