« on: June 18, 2009, 20:09 »
ok iv only had my chook for a week, and they've settled in really well, took a few adjustments to coop i.e ladder to perch and enclosed boxes...but they are now all laying every day:)

im feeding them layers mash and a corn treat as well,  but.....i boiled up veggy stuff,pasta,rice etc..mashed it into a porridge type mess...put it out...they won't eat it:(

mine don't like cooked veg either, so don't bother with it any more. If they aren't free ranging hang a cabbage up fot them to peck up,  :)
Staffies are softer than you think.

should be fine then as they will be getting their greens when they are out. Mine have only just started to eat sweetcorn since we had the babies 4 weeks ago. Before that none of them would touch it.

I think sometimes it takes them a while to know that something is actually food!  Our Hubbards wont eat corn i throw in the run for them! Our new layers were the same till the old girls showed them the ropes.
