Pellets or Crumbles??

Really can't judge by a first feeding of a new feed. Chickens hate change, and they can hold out on eating new feed in hopes of getting the stuff they're familiar with back.

Thanks for the tip! You are right about change. We had to lay loads of straw down in the run to mitigate the mud from the 8in of rain in the last week They refused to come out for most of the day.

I agree. I start all of my chicks on crumbles. When I switch over to pellets I usually have some crumbles left so I mix them with the pellets. They will eat them. Good luck and have fun...
