I make mash each morning for the girls; alfalfa pellets (to keep their yolks from being pale), equal part of their Flock Raiser, buttermilk, crushed red pepper, cooked blackeyed peas or pinto beans, whatever leftovers that might be in the frig and eggs that might be getting older and crushed eggshells when the container gets full....this week one morning I included rolled oats....I use hot water to turn it into mash. They love it...lick their bowls clean!
