Raina Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Hi all, My girls absolutely love Layers Pellets. But when i give them some Mixed corn (from Flyte So Fancy) in the afternoon they don't want to know about it, they just pick the grit out when they want some of that is it normal for them not to like corn?,They ate some just after they arrived but haven't since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Mine prefer it to pellets They will eat it straight out of my hand, and if I mix layers + mixed corn, all thats left in my hand is the layers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Mine werent to bothered with corn at first but now love it! I am sorry but I don't know what prompted the change but the change was sudden! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Clucks-minusOne Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 If they are given nothing else mine will eat it or bury it. They used to love it but now prefer oats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Are they laying yet? My lot didnt really eat a lot of anything before they were laying and now they eat anything - you will notice a big difference and they will soon love corn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherryblossom Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Mine also love their layers pellets, I was beginning to think they were the only ones. They love fresh or tinned corn, but dried corn they are not interested in and leave it for the pigeons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol U Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Mine wouldn't touch corn for the first six months. Now they would kill for it! Perhaps it's an acquired taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayflower Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I get told off now by Head hen Annie if I put corn down. She looks at the corn and mutters under her breath, then looks at me as if I'm mad. May, Lucy and Alice just walk away from the corn. Mine adore greens instead.....especially when they have been in the fridge!!!..........the greens.....not the hens!

fluffyknickers Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Mine would sell their own granny for corn! Perhaps try when they are a little older. Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
