Hello! I have 3 white leghorn hens that I have had for about 1.5 years. They prefer to roost up on the rafters of my barn vs a coop. They are free range chickens. I am just wondering if anyone has tips/suggestions on how to get them to eat any of the feed I provide for them? The only thing I can get them to eat are sunflower seeds and mealworms; the rest of their diet is whatever they eat outside. I have not had any other chickens but I feel like they look much thinner than most other chickens I see. I have tried many good brands of pellets/grain and made a fresh chop my vet suggested but nothing. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Does anyone else have this problem? They seem fine but just seem lean compared to others I've seen! Thanks!!
