I have the same brand of chicken feed, it has never changed, they are over a year old, why did they stop eating, they are drinking plenty water, laying about 3-6 eggs a day, what the heck is going on, I have not filled there feeder for several weeks now, I even went out to get fresh food, thinking there other pellets are getting older, but still the fresh pellets makes no different, they just stopped eating what should I do. HELP......
 
Have you changed anything in your husbandry practices ? Increased pen size/free ranging ?
 
Do they free range any? How big is your flock? Do they appear to be sick and losing weight?
 
Free ranging wi definitely decrease how much they eat of the pellets.
 
Do they free range? If so, they may be filling up on yummy bugs and worms, so they wouldn't want regular feed.
