Oats and oatmeal aren’t the cozy nourishment for chickens you might think… (It was a surprise for us!)
What you don't know about chickens could hurt them! While it may sound warm and fuzzy to feed your chickens a hot oatmeal for breakfast, the beta glucan in oats is an ANTI-NUTRIENT, that actually causes a thickening of the intestinal mucosa, which prevents them from absorbing nutritional benefits from the oats, AND prevents them from absorbing the ESSENTIAL nutrients from their chicken feed that they need to keep themselves warm in winter!
