This is the strangest thing, my chickens are hungry but wont eat grains ! They've always like a specific brand but no won't eat it, so I tried (now 5) different brands, from crumbles to pellets to mash and no one will eat. Yet they act starving so I give them their usual amount of mealy worms (small handful each) and afternoon treat of green leafy veggies (that the always had when having the 90% diet of grains. But they only eat that so fast (like they are starving) and almost choke. They pick at my arms and legs looking for food when I walk in the coup and run. I don't know what else to do or why this strange behavior. I made fermented but they only peck little bit of it when they used to eat it all. They are not sick as they are getting aggressive for food and fight with each other when I come in (who will get the veggies first) but I am not increasing it due to I want them to finally eat the layer feed. I don't know if I should just go out and give more veggies but how will they ever eat grains ? This is so strange to me. Anyone have an idea what is wrong???
