Thanks for the feedback. I got them some layer crumbles and they are reluctantly eating it. I just read on another thread that if your chickens are rushing at you for food every time you step out the door that they are not content - so I freaked out

Do they have a website? I'm in Australia.

That's their coop ☝️

we tried the pellets but they don't eat them. They are out of the cage about 5 hours every day. I thought that considering we give them treats and extra protein occasionally that the free range seed would be ok?

Yes it's a complete feed for free range laying hens. We have 4 chickens and usually get 4 eggs a day and have done since they started laying. I also have a small bowl of shell grit in the coop.

We've had them from 1 week old. Hand raised and very cuddly when they were little. Only in the last 2 weeks have we noticed a bit of a change in them. Not major but noticeable. Also the weather has started to get a lot hotter as we go into Aussie summer. Could this affect their moods? Love them...
