Joanne Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Mash or pellets?? I have had my chickens now for about six months and they started off with layers pellets. They made such a mess chucking them about that I decided to get some mash instead and mix the two. Now they will only eat the mash. Is this a problem? Both the mash and the pellets have the same ingredients don`t they? I only ask because when reading posts from people who have ex batts, they seem to be eager to ween onto pellets instead of the mash. What`s the difference, if any, please let me know.

mostin Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 there is no difference in the ingredients, the pellets are just pressed together. people just tend to prefer to use the pellets as they blow around less etc. If your girls prefer the mash don't worry, just give them what they like .
