Just wanting to know, is wet food a problem for chickens? Or too much of it?

Thanks Spikes chooks the info was quite helpful!No it isn't a problem, but it is important they only get enough to be eaten in one sitting. If wet food hangs around long enough to start getting mould, this can kill them.
Lots of chickens really like their food wet. I use the dusty feed at the edge of the feeder each day to add to a breakfast mash using water (hot or cold depending on season) and occassionally, yoghurt. But I only use enough for them to eat over a couple of hours.
