Again, this may be covered but I didn't find quite what I was lookin for with a quick search and I didn't want to hijack someone else's thread with my own questions. Please merge this elsewhere if need be.
Ok, so here's what I'm wondering. Have we spoiled the birds with the fruits and vegetables? We recently went from layer crumble to layer pellets. Also a different brand only because the feed mill was closed. We typically feed Nutrena but got the Dumor pellets from TSC and began adding some cracked corn as well.
Problem is they stopped coming when we call now and have zero interest in the pellets and even less interest in the cracked corn. Used to be as soon as one of us hollered "here chick" they'd come runnin from where they were. Now they don't even glance in our direction and they're beginning to range farther for food.
I'm considering goin back to crumble but mixing game bird feed and scratch grains, adding some fat maybe and something more interesting, I don't really know what else to try here.
Thank you in advance!
