I have read on here that once you start with either mash or crumble or pellets- the chickens will not accept another style.
I just filled the feeders this evening with laying mash (what they have been used to) and watched them while they proceeded to fling it everywhere including onto each other!
I am tired of wasting all this food since their feeders are over pine shavings it is going to be hard for them to pick it all back up
I wondered if anyone has had luck with switching out the mash with pellets by mixing some pellets in with the mash a little at a time until they are eating all pellets? Just a thought- I want to try it, but don't want to waste a bag of food either- although they are wasting it by flinging it. Thanks in advance
