Kids not eating grains. Advice?

[Keaokun]

Hello friends,
I have 7, 12 week old Wyandotte and orpington hens. They have been eating grower feed and veggies (their favorite)!

In an attempt to move toward a healthier diet, we bought bulk grains from Winco, but the girls are not eating it! Any advice?

Here is the recipe from gardenbetty.com

Oat groats
Boss
Wheat berries
Kamut
Millet
Corn
Lentils
Sesame seed
Flax seed
Brewers yeast
Kelp granules
Oyster shell
Grit


They pick at some but have been ignoring it overall. They still eat the greens and treats, but I only feed a little of that each day. Not enough for them to be full! What should I do!

Mix it with something tasty! Perhaps they don't find it appetizing enough (not sure why, even I would try that!), or they are full. I would suggest cutting back on their feed, and mix it with some corn off the cob or scrambled eggs. Good luck!
