chookaloo Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 We had 4 new chooks from Omlet three weeks ago who came with Omlets organic pellets. As we all know these chooks are not royalty (yet) and the price of organic pellets are too high. We bought some normal Heygates pellets but it seems the ladies have become a bit fussy and sniff a bit at this food. I did initially try mixing it but they seemed to flick out the new stuff and eat the organic. Iin an attempt to fix their fussy habit I filled the grub box with all new food and they don't appear to be eating it. We are concerned that they may not be eating enough. Can any one tell us how to get the ladies to eat this new stuff? We would welcome any advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 They can be fussy can't they!!! I think the consensus is that they wont starve themselves so persevere and they will eat it eventually! Cut down on the treats in the meantime as they will hold out for them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 best way is to mix 3 parts old to 1 part new for a few days then start to increase the amount of new to old untill you use the old up I tried Heygates last year to be honest I found that my lot (only had 3 at the time ) got through it in half the time as the brand I had before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
