can I feed grits to my chickens..uncooked

[old hippy]

I have a shot at getting a lot of grits for 3.50 for 50 lbs..my neighbor/mentor/hazels uncle..says its just like feeding corn..just mix it with the laying mash..
need to know ASAP so I can make the deal..Thanks for any replies...Ed

I would think it's probably the same or close to chick size cracked corn....

I'd take it in a heartbeat. Nutritionally, yes, it is about the same as white corn. 8% protein, give or take, so not much. High carb.

In 10% mixes with the mash, I see no harm. More than that would dilute the nutrition of the layer formula.
