Chicken Scratch Cornbread and Oatmeal from 50lb bag of Horse Oat Berries

I have 18 or 20 domestic ducks on a pond and have tried all kinds of feed for them.
I thought for a while that purchasing chicken scratch at the feed store would be highly nutritious based on all the different grains
and with different brands of chicken scratch I could get different grains.  Many sounded kind of exotic since we dont normally see them
in grocery stores.    The problem with making cornbread was that all the grains are " cracked instead of ground with the pieces way too big to
make  a batter with.   I tried both a blender and an actual grain grinder.  I dont like corn muffins made with powdery cornmeal  and prefer
a more coarse cornbread so the food processor worked great.   I just followed the normal cornbread recipe and it turned out great and you
could barely detect that it was not regular cornbread.  If things go  dark because of nuclear war  or I am really really cash challenged,  I want to
have a 50 pound bag of scratch as I think that is the biggest financial stretch I could make if I couldnt afford regular food.

Also,  I tried a bag of horse feed oats and what I got was a bag of oat berries which is the oat grain before the hull is removed.
Well the ducks would have nothing to do with these oat berries...    So I put some in the blender and ground until a coarse powder
and then boiled like regular oats until  a texture was reached like regular oatmeal  and it was not bad.  Now here is the bonus.  
Apparently the oat hulls are pure fiber  and can do wonders  for your... uh.... bathroom routine.   Funny thing I gave some to my mom
and she became addicted  after a few days and she was telling all her friends and she wanted more to give to them.   At that point I
referred to the  "wonder food" as Race-Horse-Oats  or my mom would kill me if she knew I was feeding her horse food.  

Anyways there is no way to get nearly as much nutrition at a grocery store for the price  so remember if you ever face a survival situation
that you can plan for.   Go to the FEED STORE instead  

PS, the  chicken scratch cornbread   cooked  in iron skiillet  in the oven was seriously good !
