Hello all,
Ever since we got her, one of our Red Star hens has been a very fussy eater. She prefers not to eat layer feed, although she will peck at it a little. She doesn't enjoy treats besides grapes ,grass, meat and a few other things, preferring to peck at things around the yard. Is there anything I can add to the feed to make her eat more of it? Any other treats I could give her?
 
Is she producing eggs and is she of good weight? If she is, she is getting enough free ranging so there is no need to worry. Some breeds are better forager than others. I would make sure there is a Ca source available at all times either oyster or egg shells.
 
Yes, she is the best layer out of all our hens, she is eating fine and her weight is fine. They are all fed shell grit. Thanks for your help, I guess she's just a fussy chicken!
