Janepie33 Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 Was thinking of a small handful of uncooked to get them into their run at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 A small handful is probably ok, I'm cautious about anything like that which swells up in water - if the eat it and then drink, it could swell up and block their crop. A small amount should be ok though - most of the stuff in mixed corn will swell to some extent, but it doesn't do them any harm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Good idea, how long to cook it for - I've only ever added it to a casserole ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I have given it uncooked with no problems. No more than a handful though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
