Feeding chickens egg laying pellets

[Wyorp Rock]

Do you have a picture of the bag of feed?
I would also be interested in seeing the feeder you made as well as your lovely flock and coop

North Carolina.
We had about 3" of ice with another 8.75" of wet snow on top of that, 15*F temps with 25mph winds. So it was chilly for here.
Just warming back up, will be hopefully get back to 40's tomorrow.
I think I saw blizzard up your way. Ugggh.

here is some pics if you can see the chickens ok cause of the sun coming into the window







I am going to put siding on the coop in the spring I painted it a dark color so the siding heats up and the dark color absorbs the the heat and heats the wood keeping there house warm. I usually have there feeder hanging from a chain in there run but I just got it out of the garage and set it there so I could get a pic.i should have took it with all the chickens huddled around it eating.

the top pic there is a window on the opposite end for good cross ventilation and view of the woods and at night the top pic there is a light on the telephone pole and the light comes into there coop and it keeps it from getting pitch black in there.

I forgot to get a pic of the bag of feed so got copied and pasted a pic of what it is. Its a 50 pound bag I got it from the mill over the mountain from me and the lady in the office said hers eats them so I tried it and its been a few weeks and they still haven't ate them I mean they eat a few but they wait for me to come out with the corn in the after noon

You have a lovely flock. Nice big window, I'm sure that helps especially in the summer!
I've seen those homemade feeders, it looks like they work pretty good.
In your opening statement you said it was the first time feeding layer pellets, did you mean just this brand or pellet form in general.
If they never had pellet form, were you using crumbles instead?

Yes I was using crumbles and plus right before I got a different kind of food but I don't know what it was called and thank you I think the run is over 30 feet long so there pretty spoiled
