yannovitch Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 bonjour tout le monde! i'e had Rose and Nessa for 9 days now, and i realise how boring my garden was before they came into it! one thing though: they don't seem to eat much of their pellets... at least a little, that am sure, but, it doesn't go as fast as described on this website, and when i came out today to give them a treat, they devored it as if they were starving. should i be worried? how much pellets do you serve in the morning? how often do you serve them?

beach chick Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 mine seem to eat different amounts from one day to the next, and I have no idea why!! I quite often chuck some of the pellets in the run, so they ahve something to scratch about for. bises! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 They will always scoff treats like they are starving - don't be fooled They do it as they will worry that the other chooks will get it before them Mine eat more when they are laying so if your girls aren't laying yet they may not be eating as much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 layers pellets are like vegetables and treats / corn are like chocolate. Now do you see why they scoff their treats?!! Louise is right once they start laying they will start tucking in so be strong, dont over do the treats and keep an eye on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I agree with the others - my two didn't seem to eat anywhere as much as the Omlet website said......until they started laying and then there was no stopping them! Pleased you are enjoying having chooks in your garden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 They don't eat much until they come into lay...and then their appetites quadruple! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
