Chicken Licken Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Sorry to ask what is probably a silly question, the girls have almost eaten their way through the bag of pellets that came with them. I would like to try them on layers mash as they are not keen on the pellets. I went to the local feedstore this morning and they sell layers meal - is this the same as layers mash? I think it may be a much finer mix. Can someone tell me please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannie Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Not sure Chicken Licken. Can you ask them? There do seem to be course and fine mashes. We use the fine one, and our chooks love it, surprisingly. How can anything enjoy eating something so dry, samey and dusty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Hi My girls eat layers mash ( also known as layers meal ) and love it to bits- they were also brought up on pellets but didnt touch them as soon as they arrived home with me. Layers mash seems to be very messy but they adore it - and whatever a chicken wants ........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Mine are fed on pellets!!! Mash would make an awful mess, especially as my hens always s"Ooops, word censored!"e through their food so they can get to the corn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Licken Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 Thanks guys - I didn't want to ask them as I thought they would think I am incompetent - you can get little trial sized bags of the meal so I think I will give one a go and see which is better - I reckon I have about 2 weeks of pellets left, but they sell them too!!
