Locally backyard raised eggs are really in vogue right now. I don't have chickens but I have buddies that do. Recently they've been more than happy to give me a dozen eggs for my spent grains. Figure that's better than dumping it in my compost, something I was doing till it dawned on me to talk to my chicken friends.
Thought I'd pass on the idea in case anyone else has the opportunity and hasn't thought of it.
Other people have done much the same, but a new thread on the subject can't hurt. Spent grains are very high in protein because we mash out all of the starches.

Thanks for posting this. I do have buddies that are raising chickens. I din't necessary care about getting anything out of it. It's just a lot of grain to be putting in to the compost bin or the trash bin.

Thats cool it works for chickens. I can dump spent grain on the ground and the birds around here don't even peck at it. Are they mixing it with more palatable food?
I've been getting free eggs from my spent grain
