My layers are not eating their feed. I'm feeding them Purina's Omega-3 layer pellets and they're barely eating any. They've been on it a couple months now and they've just never been super impressed with it. It could be they don't like pellets, as they'd pretty much always had crumbles before this. They aren't eating what i put in the coop at all. I am putting some out in the run in rubber feed pans but even then they're still only eating 2.5-3 cups a day for 9 chickens-they used to eat twice that at least on their former feed. My roo who lives by himself has also stopped eating it and just kicks it all out on the floor of his cage.
Before i go buy something else for them do you think it's more likely they just don't like the pellets, or that they simply dislike the food itself? I'd rather not waste money on more pellets if they're not going to like them either and it seams most all my remaining choices are only available to me in pellets.
