    They won't eat their layer pellets!

    I just used the boiling water to make it go softer quicker. I then let in cool in the fridge before giving it to them. I mix it up before I go to bed then give it to them in the morning. My worry is if they don't eat it will more feathers be on the menu for one of my girls!

    Chickens!

    Hi! I became a chicken owner about 4 months ago - I've got 2 Isa browns, 2 Australorp x RIR, 2 x mixed breeds. I can honestly say I thought chicken would have been a lot easier to deal with - one has crop issues, another had feather pecking problems!
