chicken isn't really eating all that much. it's eating enough for me not to worry about it starving but not a peck beyond that
my dad has been pressing me to feed it cooked rice since that stuff it eats like candy, but im concerned since some sources i googled say adamantly that you shouldn't feed chickens a lot of rice since its very addictive but my dad's argument is that its still better than a chicken that barely eats at all
so far ive tried putting the pellets in water to make it mushy and that failed, i tried putting the pellets in a mixture of wheat, corn and whole oats and it's eating only a tiny bit out of that, and its not even eating the pellets
right now it's eating mostly parsley and basically nothing else and my dad has been constantly reminding me to add cooked rice into its main diet, and i have no idea what to do at all i just dont want the chicken to be malnourished
