Randomly Not Eating A Lot??

[chickenlover89]

Hi all, I have 2 9 wk old chickens, and 5 11 wk old chickens, and all of a sudden, they pretty much stopped eating, they eat a tiny bit per day, any idea why? are they sick? is it just natural? thanks!

What else do they get to eat scraps, scratch, pasture? If they are acting normal they must be eating something. If they are not acting normal what are they doing and are there any other symptoms?

They get to free range for a few hours, and sometimes we give them fruit. they do seem to be acting normal.

If they are acting normal and not losing weight, just keep an eye on them. They may just be eating enough with what else they are getting to not need to hit the bought feed to much now.
