My chickens dislike the purina layer so much, they pick it out of feeder to find the corn. Why?

I didn't read all of the messages past page !.
this might have been addressed already,
but if you are feeding laying feed, then you should not supplement it with any other grains.
you are just diluting the protein % by doing so.
if you feed too much extra grains, your egg production could reduce or cease altogether .

think of it as like adding more water to your soup..

You already have your answer(s). So I'll just say: Howdy

Welcome to BYC. The unanimous suggestion is don't mix corn in with the layer pellets, and only provide a small amount as a treat in the evening.

You were given good advice so Ill just say "Welcome"! And my girls dislike pellets, unless I soak them in water first. They prefer crumble.

Maybe just give them the starter/grower with oyster shell on the side. My hens are eating the same food they had as chicks and they're a year old. All lay eggs regularly. I also feed back egg shells, which they seem to prefer over the os.
