Porridge
« on: June 28, 2015, 18:27 »
I have this every morning for breakfast, making it at about 7.30am after opening the coop door.

As we have had shell problems lately I decided for the last three days to put 3 desert spoons of porridge, straight from the pan into a small plastic dish. Then I put mine in a bowl and add suggar ;)

At lunch time I get the plastic bowl down with the cold porridge in it and leave it for my 3 hens. At first they were a bit nervous but now almost fight to get at it, goudging out great lumps and then pecking each others beaks clean. :lol:

My mix is cup of Quaker, cup of milk, cup of water, heated in s saucepan on the stove. OH nukes hers in the microwave :(
rip Sandy, rip Beryl, Henrietta

Know what would be nice in your garden, a few hens lol

the chooks don't need milk in theirs. I wouldn't give it to them regularly.  Just a treat.

Goats milk would be ok, would it? In the depths of winter I make a tray bake of porridge oats mixed with suet and baked in the Rayburn for a few minutes to set. That's a special treat for icy conditions.
