Hens do seem to like the layer feed

Hi, my chickens started laying eggs on July 1st, so I went out and bought layer feed. They don't seem to like it as much as what they were on before. Should I be worried that they won't eat, or will the eventually get hungry enough and eat it?

Sometimes the switch over goes more smoothly if you mix the new feed with some of the old. If you still have some of their old feed, I would recommend doing so - gradually increasing the % of the new feed.

Great idea, not sure why I didn't think of that

I do have some of the old food left over and will mix it in today after work.. Thanks!
