    Picky eaters or feed problem?

    I wanted to tell you that we picked up some non-GMO, organic feed today from the organic feed supply. It's going to be easy to get it. Possible it can be delivered to the nearest town - 6 miles away. And the lady is so knowledgeable about chickens and chicken feed and happy to share whatever she...

    Picky eaters or feed problem?

    Okay. Thanks so much for the input and opinions. I hope the quail will eat it since I hate it all to go to waste. This sounds incredibly stupid, but I didn't even think about the feed getting too old. We're in a kind of remote area with limited local options for feed other than the typical...

I was getting frustrated when I had to keep cleaning bedding out of the food. I expect there are better alternatives to keeping the food dish cleaner. It sounded like a good...

    Thanks, Kerbotx! I'm not familiar with wet mash. But I'm certainly willing to give that a try. Could you tell me how to go about making that? I was already considering changing to some other feeder anyhow.

    Picky eaters or feed problem?

    Thanks, Mary. Here's a picture of the feeder. It's a RentACoop feeder. I checked to see that they can easily eat out of it. The feed is Scratch & Peck Organic Poultry Layer. It's probably 6 or 7 months old. We used to let them out of the chicken yard in the late afternoon to hunt grasshoppers. I...

    Picky eaters or feed problem?

    I never thought that chickens could be picky eaters. I've been blaming my feeder [it's one of those metal boxes with two holes near the bottom for them to put their heads in - I checked and they can get their heads in just fine] but maybe they just got spoiled when I fed them sunflower seeds...
