Hello

Greetings & Salutations. Welcome.

I agree with the wet food. Try it. Ours devour the wet first.

This is a wonderful site on which to Learn and enjoy. We are pleased to have you in the community.

Welcome in! One of the first things I learned on BYC was how to deal with picky chickens.

1. Make sure there's nothing wrong with the food (mold, humidity, pests, etc.).
2. Only offer that food and wait them out. They'll eventually eat it.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.

won’t eat pellets or crumble

Stop feeding what you are feeding them. It does not look like an appropriate feed for chickens. Just put out an all flock type of pellet or crumble and fresh water and nothing else. They WILL eat it if they have nothing else. It may take time.

Hi, curious what the ingredients are in the feed you're giving them. @SilverBirds has asked some good questions. I agree with @DobieLover that once they only have the proper poultry feed available, they will eat it. And as others have suggested, you can try wet feed.

Best wishes!
