    Chickens won't eat there food.

    Well I only gave greens yesterday and today plus there regular food ( new food). They are a bit pissy with me but when they get hungry they will eat I am sure. I feel bad that I spoiled them and now have to take treats away.

    Chickens won't eat there food.

    Thanks for the info guys. Will head out today and get new food. The hand feeding is a good idea to get them back eating food not treats.

    Chickens won't eat there food.

    Chickens won't eat there food.

    They won't eat there starter/grower food. I go out in the morning and give them there greens and a small amount of bird seed which is there favorite. But I have not had to refil there big feeder in a week. Am I giving them treats to much? Feed gone bad?

    So you think it's best to remove the boxes? I haven't. Secured them to the coop yet so it's easy to remove them for now.
