Alfala Pellets????

[Ericasl]

Hi everyone, I made a mistake today I wanted to buy alfala cubes and some how I got alfala pellets! I do not know if I said pellets or the guy gave me the wrong thing. So now I have 50 lbs of pellets,(which I have opened) and I am afraid to feed them to my chickens I think they would choke on them. Could I soak them in water? Anyone have any ideas??

They will be fine. Just make sure you didn't get rabbit pellets, as they have a very high salt content.

If they can eat lay pels why not alfalfa pels? My lay pels look identical to alfalfa pels. If all else fails, I just read today that alfalfa pels are excellent fruit tree fertilizer!

Mine eat them all the time. They more go for the broken up bits after the sheep have been through the dish a couple times.

Really they look so big to me like they would choke on them?? But I am a newbie and I trust you guys. My husband thinks I worry to much! They swallow big worms and bugs.

They can swallow a mouse whole, so I wouldn't worry too much...

Really a WHOLE MOUSE!!!!

I tell you, catch a mouse, and stun it, then throw it in amongst your fowl and watch the show...it's a riot!

Yep I have a picture somewhere of one of mine doing just that, I wanted to help her but she thought I was going to steal it off her (which I was really..) so she jsut kept running away from me - had to get a pic she looked so funny!

I found it!
