My girls are about 20 weeks old. We free range them anywhere from 2 to 5 hours a day on 1/3rd acre. But for the last couple of days we have not been able to let them out of their run for various reasons. But they are not eating the pellets that are available inside the run.
We do not give them a lot of treats. Mostly the tops of strawberries. Only one of our six girls has started laying. We got three eggs from her last week and then she has not layed for the last 6 days. I'm not so much worried about the stopping of egg laying, but I am worried about them not eating since they must stay in their run for the next few days due to fence repairs/construction.
We have only recently switched to the pellet food. Should I go back to offering them crumbles? Or should I just power through it and make them suck it up?
