Not eating much
« on: June 23, 2011, 14:43 »
Hiya
I've swapped layers mash for pelletts and my 5 chickens (24 weeks) don't seem to eating,they leave the pelletts and just scratch around on the floor all day.We give them some table scraps(green stuff) and a handfull of corn about 8 o'clock which they duly polish off between them,just a bit worried about not eating the pelletts.Egg laying has become erratic from 5 every day to 2,3,or 4

did you make the change gradually starting off with just a few pellets and increasing the amount over a few weeks. You could also try making a mash up by soaking pellets in water gradually adding more and more dry pellets.
Staffies are softer than you think.
