Girly Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 My girls love porridge but am I doing the right thing for them? They have layers pellets first thing then it’s either porridge made with rolled oats and oatmeal or greens etc and a bit of scratch before bedtime. I don’t give them too much at a time, we have some rats and a fox in the vicinity so I like to make sure there is no food or water left in the run.

ellasflock Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Mine Love porridge too! Porridge is really good for chickens, and a nice breakfast snack in the winter. Your chickens look gorgeous! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Girly, that looks like tasty porridge 😊 Just wanted to make sure that you have made it with water and not milk, but I'm sure you know that already. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girly Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 Yes, the only difference between their porridge and mine is that I like a puddle of milk on mine and a squeeze of honey. But they make me smile when I give them theirs, you would think they were starving! 3 hours ago, ellasflock said: Mine Love porridge too!

It is mostly Molly that does it, but she always makes the happiest sounds when you give her something nice. One day, I gave them something and it definitely sounded like she said thank you with a slight chicken accent. I like golden syrup on my porridge or condensed milk, yuummm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I love the noise they make when they find something really exciting that sounds like a high pitched ‘Look, look, look! Look, look!! Look, look, look!’ 😍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Traditional Scottish porridge here. Oatmeal soaked in water overnight and cooked with salt - never sugary stuff ! Serve with separate bowl of milk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girly Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 The best porridge I ever had was at an hotel in Edinburgh. Made the traditional way. Oh the thought of staying in an hotel! If only😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
