Olly Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Just make porridge with water, not milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyBean2605 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I'll have to go hunting for some plain porridge mix, everything seems to have salt or Sugar in it these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I think Olly means use plain porridge oats, not the 'instant' porridge mix. You can also make 'porridge' by mixing pellets/mash with hot water until you get a porridgey mix. That way the hens get all the goodness from their feed rather than empty calories from porridge oats. Personally I wouldn't bother though to be honest - they really don't need it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I did mean porridge oats - sorry, I have never used the instant stuff! As said above though, I don't think there's any point - the hens don't really derive any benefit from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
