rolled oats and goats
I have some rolled oats (the old fashioned kind) that has gotten "buggy" and we can't eat them. Is it OK to give them to the goats?

I wouldn't give them to the goats if they are buggy but what about any poultry you might have? Chcikens & ducks would Love them!

Chickens would love them, but not the goats.

Don't have any poultry. I guess I'll just dump them.

I'll be the exception here. A few bugs, I'd give them to my goats, no problem. Have done so in the past.
Moldy or musty?? Chickens. More than a few bugs? Chickens. Or, since I don't have chickens, I'd soak them in beef broth overnight and feed them to my dogs.

I'm with Emily! I would feed them to the goats as long as they are not moldy or gross. My girls would happily eat them. A few bugs are just extra protein and not going to hurt anyone. my dogs would happily eat them too.
