There is salt and sugar in weetabix, which your chickens shouldn't have, so plain porridge made with water would be better  :)

Given as a treat the amounts are very small (http://www.weetabix.co.uk/products/cereals/weetabix#titleNutritionalInformation) - probably about 4x% the amount of salt as found in layers pellets. If this amount was a problem you wouldn't be able to keep free range chickens within many miles from the coast. Sugar content too is low and many commercial organisations add much more as a way of boosting energy intake.
So don't worry. Let them eat the weetabix and you eat the box; that way you'll get the tastier part :happy: :happy:
