txswanie Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Can someone please explain the difference between crumbles and mash. I have all the chickens on organic crumbles but after bringing Lucy home from the vet he told me to give them mash as well. What is it and how do I feed it. Is it dry or wet Thanks.

Egluntyne Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I've never seen 'crumbles' here in the UK ... am guessing that it it similar to 'crumb' and is a halfway house, texture wise, between pellets and mash. Mash is very finely milled, takes longer to eat, so provides amusement, but makes a heck of a mess. It is usually given dry, but can be mixed with water to make a 'porridge' as can crumbs and pellets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
