Hi,

My chucks are fed on layers pellets and wolf them down..Also some greens.

I mixed in some corn but they dont touch it. 

I thought they loved corn??

My chickens love cracked corn.  Are you giving them corn ground fine enough for them to eat?  I give our hens corn as a special treat every day.  My husband and I make a big fuss over the fact that there's something yummy in the cup and then present it to them.  This technique even works with layer pellets (that they have everyday, all day long in their feeder).  If it comes out of that magic cup, then it must be yummy!  We gave them wheat for the first time yesterday, and although they were a bit surprised, tucked right in.

My two love mixed corn scattered on the ground, but strangely won't eat greens or bread.

ours love cracked corn, but as before, are not that keen on greens, but they ae still young, like the kids i suppose, dont know what is good for them..

It takes time with your hens taste buds, especially if they are young! Dont worry eventually they will love it. I would advise only to give it as a treat as it is fattening, and also its a good method of a shaking corn jar to get them to do what you want. (in a fashion).

Hi Cudders, great to see you around again   How are your girls doing ?

Give then a bit of corn last thing in the afternoon for them to scratch for rather than mixing it with the pellets.
