munkee1965 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Just put the girls to bed and was getting their feed ready for morning. Started a new sack of what I thought was pellets. When I opened it it was mash. What do I have to do with it as I've never fed them this before? Or would I be better getting them a sack of pellets?

cheekymonkey68 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Evening! That happened to me too! you can feed it dry or like me add hot water and make it into a mash, I add mealworms and then serve, they eat every little bit of it..I give about 125g per hen. Hope it all goes well for you tomorrow. I found my girls prefer it to layers pellets..... M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Mine have got both. It keeps them quiet in the morning served dry. They take longer eating it and get it on floor but luckily I have scavengers who like eating it from the floor as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsunset Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I gave my girls mash tonight for the 1st time and what excitement! It was like they had never eaten before and 6 heads were stuck in a big dog stainless steel dish bobbing up and down! Mixed it with some hot water so that'll be on the menu from now on I guess. Still all new to me as a chicken newbie. Guess the chooks will train me to suit no doubt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
