What do silkies eat?

[poupoule]

Hello,

I read somewhere(???) that silkies do not eat pellets, but only chisk sarter/grower mix. Is this true? I am about to get a trio to join my other bantams. I feed them a mix of grain/pellet, bread and veggies scraps. Whould the silkies be fine with this diet?

Any suggestions will help. Thanks.

I feed mine the same as the rest of the chickens and they're fine. I have actually never heard of feeding them differently!

My silkies have never like the pellets except the show bird ones that I feed them a couple of months before show time. They are alot smaller than regular pellets....
