rice and dogfood should provide sufficient protein for a few days. I would cook the rice and stir the dry dogfood into the rice, adding sufficient water to soften the dog food to make it easier to eat. I bet they eat the food regardless of how soft it is, however.

My dog doesn't like her dry dogfood very well, so the chickens usually eat as much or more than she does. A few years ago, I used to keep a dog food self feeder filled all the time. I stopped doing that when I realized the chickens were pushing open the feeder and getting most of the dog food, since lb per lb, her dogfood was more expensive than chicken pellets.

Good morning all!

I am so sad about the tornado damage and loss of life and property. Praying for comfort and healing for all who are affected, and I hope BigOkie and our other peeps up in the Nowata area are safe today!

Good Morning everyone! Haven't been on in a while, but with all the storming last night, I couldn't stop thinking about some of you! Hope everyone is OK!

Hi all,
More storms for today and especially tomorrow.
Everyone keep your eyes on the sky!
