I limit the treats to no more than a tbs per bird per day. They get their treats when then come into the run (when I call them) from being outside in the yard. We are a 150-acre hardwood tree farm so there are WAY too many predators for them to free range.
My girls get a mix of layer pellets and crumble in their Grandpa’s Feeders, but as a special treat, they get a wet mash of chow and warm or cold water (depending on the weather). For some reason, they think this is a special treat and will gobble it down!
I’ve noticed that some of my girls prefer crumble over pellets, so maybe your girls are the same. Try the mix and see what happens.
