Do your chickens eat cracked corn in scratch?

[mommissan]

Mine only eat the corn if they're bored and there's nothing else left.

Huh, mine always go for the corn first...then the millet or oats...

Each chicken seems to have favorites in my scratch mix. Some like the millet, some go for the corn first and others like the long grain, not sure what it is.

My chickens will eat most any scratch including the peas I have right now. I always throw their scratch in the early afternoon since they have been up and eating their feed since 3 a.m.

See, my BR will only eat the millet in it.

She likes small seeds for some reason.

She will push everything else out of my hand to get those tiny little pieces of millet.

I think it is so funny that each has their own likes/dislikes. i was giving treats of a little cheese and then grapes, when one of them saw the grape, she turned and walked away, like no thanks!

Mine eat all their scratch that they get, they leave no trace.

Mine are the same a Josie. First they attack the corn, then the millet and all the other things in there. They must like it. When they see me walk outside and hear the bag rattle, here they come at a dead run. Sometimes they run so hard it difficult to stop and they run over each other.

My girls love anything I give them. If they try to be picky I remind them about chickens who have nothing to eat and they should be lucky lol

Exactly!

Mine don't like the corn much but they do eat it after everything else is gone. They fight over the little white bits first.
