    Best way to feed chickens mash?

    I ordered some feed from an online store here in Romania. I was expecting pellets but I received a powdery mixture. I'm not sure the best way to feed it to them. I tried mixing it in with their grain but they didn't eat it.

    I'll have to see about that. Maybe a neighbor would want some. I need to replace the coop because it is very difficult to deal with.

    I'm sure I'll find a tape measure somewhere. My late mother in law had a strange way of storing thing's. You are right about the coop being small. The six chicks, although very welcome, threw me for a loop. We had already ordered and paid for the new hens before I knew about the new ones. I...

    The broody hen took her chicks out of the main coop after hatching. I may add that at that time we didn't know that she would successfully hatch any chicks because she sat on eggs from the beginning of May (while my MIL was still alive and dealing with it). In the meantime we had only one...

    Thanks! They currently have their own little coop in their own run. The 4 big chickens and roosters are using the big coop. The 6 little guys free range in the same large yard as the others but sleep by themselves at night. They would very much like to join the big guys in the big coop but I'm...

    Thanks! I'm sure I will have lots of questions. My mother in-law took care of them, but she recently passed away without imparting any of her wisdom to me. Hubby is disabled and can't help beyond researching. He did arrange the purchase of the hens etc.
