OATS

I was given some oats(whole) and was wondering if it's OK to use as chicken feed. Thanks


Someone has probably asked this before.....

Oats is just fine for them. They love it just as much as corn. I use it during the summer months.

I feed chopped oats with no problems.

yes you can feed oats to the chickens.

Yep, mine love it too. I sprinkle it on the ground and they have fun scratching around for it. Even the Cornish X's will get active for them

I soak mine in water first. I feed them whole oats. They love it.

I grew a test plot of oats last summer. After they were ripe, I swathed the whole thing and threw it loose into the chicken area. They pecked all the seeds out and it kept them entertained for weeks 'hunting' in the pile.

I bought steamed crimped oats from the feed store, figuring if the girls didn't eat them, the horses would love the treat. The horses haven't gotten any of them
