Do chickens eat oatmeal

Answer 1

yes u can feed chickens oats, scraps from dinna (including meat, BUT NOT CHICKEN) wheat, grain, bread anything humans eat chickens can!! I read in a poultry raising book that feeding chickens oats helps them get through hot weather. Feeding chickens too much dairy, especially probiotic yogurt etc, gives them the runs.

Answer 2

no u can not Oatmeal is probably one of the best grain foods for new chicks. Oats cannot be

suitably prepared, however, in a common feed-mill. The hulled oats

are what is wanted. They can be purchased as the common rolled oats, Quaker brand plain rolled oats or similar are fine but do NOT feed instant or flavored quick oats. (these contain salt and sugar)

Sometimes known as as cut or pin-head oatmeal. The latter form would be

preferred, but either of these is an excellent chick feed. Oats in

these forms are expensive and should be purchased in bulk, not in single small

packages. Feed dry not prepared/cooked. Chick starter is much preferred overall and is available either medicated or not. (cheaper than oats too).

Answer 3

Oatmeal, or small oat flakes are best offered in dry flake form, so they can peck it from the ground, but water must be available at all times. This way the duckling is able to monitor it's own intake. Poultry wheat can also be offered, and pellets can be introduce once the ducklings' beak size has increased, at about 8 weeks.

Answer 4

Chicks can eat grain, even when they first hatch. Most animal feed stores carry a chick starter, or a specific feed for the chicks to eat. As the chickens grow, their feed type often changes to give them their adequate needs.

Answer 5

Baby chicks need Chick grower. Peanuts would need to be unsalted and in very small pieces as the chicks could choke.

Best not to give them "treats" Get chick grower feed for them.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Yes you can,cause'my grandma has a farm and feeds baby chicks spinach!

Answer 8

Oats are certainly on the chickens menu. Raw oats and oat husks are part of all commercial feed. Leftover oatmeal from breakfast is a good treat for the birds when you clean up the kitchen.
