    Feed change

    Wondering if anyone has had any luck changing layer food from crumbles to pellets? I just discovered pellets today at feed store, bright it home and my girls are looking at me like I'm crazy. Should I just let them deal with it until they get hungry enough, they will adjust? Thanks

    Hungry chicks

    Thank you. I really don't give many treats. Grapes once in awhile. That's about it. Do you recommend a different feed for them? Or just stay with the layer and no grapes or other treats? Thank you
