WHAT TO FEED MY VERY FUSSY ISA BROWNS !!

I have listened to all the advice here and am giving them less treats , they are not free range because they are in a suburban back yard , but have a very , very comfy and safe coop and pen , thanks everyone for all the advice , much appreciated !!!

My oldest pair of chickens never liked pellets, I moved them onto a crumble and they were happy eating that. But if they get hungry they will eat it.

Don't feel bad, Mine are the same way. 1st I thought it was the feed and then tried FF, Liked for a bit then changed their minds.
Then I thought they stopped eating any of it but it is because they range out in the yard. Started to lay and got skinny but that was normal, which I didn't realize before.
Now I just leave the feed, they will eat it I find.
I do toss corn or treats once and a while for them but not very often.

I haven't tried the crumble yet , i think i have overindulged them , now i am cutting back on treats , they don't like it , but they are eating more softened with water pellets

Mine are not free range and i'm coming to the conclusion that , that is the best , but not possible in a suburban back yard with lots of garden , if i was to start again i would design it all differently , but now like children , if they don't eat eat the pellets no treats lol ha ha
