Hello,
We have (4) 10 week old chickens, 2 Rhode Island Reds and 2 White Rocks, we finished there coop yesterday and put them in but have noticed that they haven't eaten. We were feeding them chick mash? until last week and we were out of food, I stopped at a feed store and they sold me scratch, they hardly spoke English and I didn't know what I was looking for. So the last week they've had scratch only, didn't eat much of that either, and then yesterday was the big day of moving them into their coop. We also got them new food, lay pellets, and new feeding and watering cans.
They seem happy to be scratching and and pecking but haven't eaten like they used to.
Could it be too much change at once? Or should we go back to mash? Or should I just give it some time?
