I new to being a chicken owner. I bought a home in northern Utah that came with five 2 year old RIR chickens. They all lay eggs and have been eating laying feed and scratch feed. So I continued to feed them that way. I let them free range when I am home, they love that. I have tried to get them scraps but they don't seem interested at all and they will sit there for days without being touched. So I just end up throwing them away. I don't think the previous owners would take them scraps.
But recently I got two 9 month old chickens, one a Easter Egger and a Silver Laced Wyandotte. They were raised on scraps and haven't ever eaten laying feed.
My RIR got nuts over there feed but I don't want my new chickens eating something they aren't suppose to. I would love any suggestion you can give me. I know that my 9 months have laid a few eggs but I haven't seen any from them since I got them. Suggestions Please! Thanks
