⠀ Chickens not eating much

[homestead 101]

I just brought chickens home last weekend. They have not laid any eggs yet as they are all over a year, and they have no eaten that much. How much should buff orpington eat and small bantam hens eat. I have as much feed avilible for them but they just don't eat as much as I think they should

Please help me find an answer?

A move is stressful for them. Some chickens will be ok right away, still lay and eat just fine. Others will be a bit stressed and it may take them a few weeks to get back into a routine of laying. If you can provide a good seed mix for them as well, sometimes they will eat better if its mixed in with their pellets. Good luck.

Chickens also have troubles switching feed brands, so they might not recognize or like what you are offering.
