    Picky Girls!!

    I scattered in run and it’s still there 3 days later. It’s raw feed corn . Supposed to be good for them for winter.

    Picky Girls!!

    My girls wont eat whole kernel corn! I was told it was great for them for winter. The oil and nutrients are taken out of cracked corn. They still get all they want of the layers pellets. But I was so disappointed they wouldn't eat the corn!

    Why won't my chickens eat food scraps?

    I think mine are just spoiled! They will not touch spinach, kale, or any type of lettuce. They love quick oats, bread, and grapes. They snub at cucumbers and zucchini. Wont eat peppers. I have quit throwing stuff to them cause I end up cleaning it up later!

    So I tried cooked noodles (I had some leftover). The first brave one got a noodle and the rest chased her around. Even though there was a pile of them! In the end. I think a couple ate them.

    ANY advice on planning coop design welcome!

    I suggest gravel in the run. I used pea pebbles d/t soggy/muddy run. I love it! I just sprinkle DE on rocks then power wash poo into gravel. No smell and it stays clean! Good luck!
