Chickens Won't Eat Corn or Milo

[Ridiculous]

Asking the wrong question. Ask why you would feed scratch and harm your birds.

We buy Kalmbach's Henhouse Reserve for scratch. It's actually a layer feed but they waste too much when I fed to them as feed. We have them on Kalmbach's Flock Maker, an all-flock that they don't waste so much, but sure love this for scratch!

I don’t usually feed scratch. When the weather is bad or they have to stay in the coop and big run for a few days they get one flock block, takes them a while to go through that. I also hang a head of cabbage in the run for those days.They get all flock feed, free range for part of the day and they get some fruit and veggie scraps. In the winter I give them some mealworms, occasionally they get black oil sunflower seeds. They love BOSS but I don’t give too much - I always keep some in a bigger mason jar and shake it, they will follow me in the coop or run. It’s my low stress (for me) way to round them up if I need them confined
