What protein is that feed? Scratch and peck is what I call a boutique feed, it's just basic nutrition at a premium price.She and my other girls were eating Scratch and Peck organic pellets (the ones made with black soldier fly larvae). She also got a little scratch (Nature’s Best) but not daily, a few dried black soldier fly larvae most days, and sometimes fruit/veg. The flock mainly eats their feed. When she lost weight and started to become anorexic, the vet told me to try anything. I tried meat baby food, baby rice cereal, cooked oatmeal, apples, cooked peas and carrots, and scrambled eggs. She ate a little of each at first. Then, for a few days, she wouldn’t eat anything except the larvae and apples. Then she quit eating those, too. She continued to drink water daily and stayed hydrated. Today, after having that tube feeding at the vet on Wednesday (Kaytee Exact), she’s eating a little of the Exact, a little of that with Nature’s Best all flock crumbles mixed in, watermelon when I offer it, and her own poop.
