Do your silkies eat pellets?

Just thinking ahead to when it's time to move the chicks to layer feed. Probably overthinking raising silkies again.
I'd much prefer to feed pellets, as I do with my adult birds but now I have two silkies.

I know the sparrows and finches that get into my coop eat the pellets just fine.

I prefer them too and my silkies do just fine with them.

Good to know! Glad you asked! I was wondering if I could change my bantams over to pellets since they make such a mess with the mash. I wondered if they were to small for pellets but if sparrows can eat it, they can too!

Yes, mine will, but I cant get the 20% in pellets so they are stuck on crumbles.
