white rice

[Catfishingpokey]

i was wondering if it would be ok to feed chicks left over white rice from the table.i didnt know if all the processing it goes through would hurt them or not.

I feed them cooked white rice all the time. The only adverse effect is that they beg for more!

Well....except for the leghorn. She doesn't care for it as much.

I feed it to my girls on occasion, it makes a sticky mess on their beaks! I'm sure it's ok once in a while, but it really has minimal nutritional value. Then again, neither does the styrofoam, paper towels and plastic beads I have caught them eating...

Yep, for two years now Kitty has had a large thick styrofoam box as her kitty house. The chickens discovered it and Kitty no longer has a kitty house.
Mine love cooked white rice. Little nutritional value, but a nice diversion from pecking Kitty's box.
