I have tried three different feeds and my hens would eat but not that interested. They would leave the feeder when they saw me. I switched to Bartlett pellets and now I can't get them away from the feeder. They ignore me if they are eating until their crop is full. I pay $16 a bag (50lb)...
One of my Buffs cannot free range because she misses anything she tries to peck. Misses by 1/2 inch or more. She eats fine from feeder but can't come up with scratch or bugs and things. Is there anything to do to help her?
I have older hens but one of my rir is laying @ 15 weeks. The other hens plymouth rocks, orpingtons, australorps are 18 and 19 weeks and have yet to lay. eggs are small but I have changed feed to layer. Will this hurt the hens not laying?
thanks for replies
