Sorry. Can I feed my chickens rice bran as a chicken scratch.

The Question Asker Replied October 14, 2026, 4:55 PM EDT

I would not recommend feeding rice bran as scratch. Would not recommend feeding scratch grains or cracked corn either as scratch since they are energy sources and dilute a complete feed. The result would be nutrient deficiencies.

Rice bran, however, can be included in a well formulated chicken feed, depending on the type and age of the chickens.
