You don't sound like that at all, it happens to us all. More than not I forget to place my Chewy order sometimes, and I have to feed soaked alfalfa pellets and whatever else I can find for a day until I can run to go get something from our closest feed store.
It happens to the best of us. :)
Do you think they would eat more corn though? I feel like they might have a preference and only eat corn.
What about soaking the cat food, it will make it look more appetizing if she prefer the corn.
Could you order from Amazon to minimize your time frame to one week? It saves you the cost of driving.
This ratio sounds pretty good, sounds like you got it covered.
Mealworms are good because of their high protein, but only feed them in the amount you would feed treats. 10% of the diet, about a tablespoon per bird.
Make sure to feed fruits and veggies along with it to give them some fresh nutrients as well.
Do you have layers? Make sure you have Oyster...
The closest feed store is clean out of feed. I don't think the OP has other feed stores in the area. Just pet stores for dogs and cats. Op also said that Amazon would get here on Oct. 4th.
Makes the situation a bit more difficult. :)
What about Timothy grass, Orchard grass? Do you have cattle or horses in your area? Usually horse owners buy that for their horses. A store that has horse supplies will have it. Alfalfa is fed by some members on here soaked in the winter. Usually because of the limited forage.
If they're hungry they will. When my Chewy orders get delayed I buy Scratch and peck feeds until it arrives. Theres a farm store closures buy that only sells that. They hate it haha, but still eat it since they're hungry.
Maybe you could use Amazon. The 4th is only a week away, and that would save you a trip to the feed store, and maybe get it here sooner if you would otherwise have to wait 2 weeks. :)
Do your birds have access to forage? Do you have a pet store close by, or does your feed store sell alfalfa pellets? You can feed soaked alfalfa pellets along with some of the corn, fruits, veggies, and cooked scrambled eggs for a bit. That should provide somewhat balanced nutrition for a week...
There was another thread that suggested feeding bits of whole wheat bread, fruits and veggies, egg, and access to forage for a week until the owners Chewy order arrived.
