Feeding canola seed to layers

Hello,

Looking for a little advice...

I was given a 150ish lbs of canola seed as chicken feed.
My laying hens already get a combo of 17% layer ration, rolled wheat and whatever they can dig up around the 10 acres yardsite/pasture.

Can I add in a scoop or two of the canola seed to their day mixture without issue?
Should I sprout it?
Should I just feed it to my meat chickens instead?

I've never had canola seed as feed before, so I'm not sure how to use it, or if I should use it.

Any info would be appreciated!

I'm by no means a chicken expert but I'm I'm frugal and would give at least your meat chickens some of it maybe a 10% supplement to whatever else you feed them. it will be added protein I believe

They will definitely eat it and it's a good addition to your feed. Canola meal is commonly added to chicken feed after it has been pressed for oil. Whole seed is even better.. in moderation of course.
