Our 4 Hybrid POL chooks have been with us for 7days now.
But while they seem happy enough they don’t seem to be eating much of the Layer pellets that they have access to all day.
They get meal worms in the morning, (about a handful between the 4, dried but pre-soaked), a small handful of corn each in the evening about 8:30 and Grass clipping or greens during the day.
So far Gladys has laid 6 eggs, Maud 2, Margo laid her first egg yesterday, Tilly is undecided and by the look on her face she’ll do it when she is ready and not before
. So as I say they seem happy but not eating much of the layer pellets.
My question is (or are) how much layer pellets would you expect 4 hens to eat in a day? Is it possible they don’t liker this brand? should I be concerned?
Thanks in advance for your help
