so i have been raising my buff orpington chickens since april 2018 when they were only 2 weeks old . they have been doing great up until about one month ago . they will NOT eat their layer feed anymore . i have always been feeding them HIGHLAND NATURALS egg layer crumbles . I was no longer able to get them that particular feed so I switched over to KALMBACHS egg layer crumbles . they ate that a few days and stopped eating it . so then I tried PURINA LAYENA CRUMBLES PREMIUM LAYER FEED ..... wont even go near it . so , now i got all of this chicken layer feed and they wont eat any of it . it is now going on 4 weeks . i talked to a vet . he has no clue . he suggested making my own feed . i have tried ALOT of different * people food * all that they really like is bananas and oatmeal mixed together . they LOVE dried mealworms . omg its their favorite . so , to end this book . i will say ..... they are drinking water ..... they are very active . they are loosing their feathers because i know their diet is bad and they are not laying eggs like they should be . i am at a total loss . i have tried to SO MANY things and I disappointed in myself and the entire situation with the chickens needless to say i am worried . can anyone please help me !!!
