What is the difference between Groats and Oats?!

I think groats are the hulled whereas oats are not, but don't quote me on this

Not to say they are not here. Are they similar to the rolled oats used to make porridge, lassies?

No. Groates are a lot less processed, according to the link I found. Rolled oats and then quick oats take a lot less time to cook. Maybe I should have put that the other way round. Qucik oats are "quick", funny that

, then rolled oats take a fasir amount longer. Groates have very little processing, just the hulling. From what I could gather.

Mix it up like soft food with egg and veges. Or can it be fed as is?

I can't imagine the birds being interested in rolled oats. They love the unprocessed stuff, but have never taken to rolled oats from my cereal. Too many other nice things to eat.

Funny thing is, when my mum was here, she had oat porridge for breakfast every morning, and Boo was all over it like a rash.

Stockfeed places with probably have the groats, but living in the city, I can't get it if they don't sell the stuff online.
