Wheat + Oil Seed Rape
« on: October 25, 2013, 12:17:36 pm »
Hi
We were given some sacks of whole wheat, some have Rape seed mixed in. Is this safe for the hens to eat? Been trying to sieve it out this morning, could do without that job!

Mine eat it.  I have been told not to fatten birds for slaughter on it as it can taint the taste of meat but don't know how true this is?
