When they're tiny I gave cooked.

At about three weeks I'd sort of smush the packet of oatmeal with a spoon dry into smaller bits and give it to them. With grit.

I used the packets as I only had 15 then...if you have a lot of chickens it's cheaper to buy in bulk.

you can use the big containers of oatmeal from a store labeled "Quick Oats", it is cut up into smaller pieces and it comes in about a 2 lb. container

why do you not feed oat grouts?
that is oats made into flakes and for chickens and animals
are you feeding greit?
the oats are only 11-13% protein and should be considered in the amount of protein the chickens get each day

what amr of protein is their starter grower?
you can email me PM for some tips
