christyrose12 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Does anyone know if its okay for my existing hens to eat the small holder ex batt pellets? I recently got 2 ex batts and wanted to feed them a good quality food as they are abit scrawney. They are in with my posh birds. Is it okay for the posh girls or will it be too rich?

libby22 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Hi. I had two ex-batts on the ex-battery food and two gingernut rangers on Omlet crumb. I did accidentally mix the feeders up on one occasion and the gingernuts wouldn't touch the stuff That is when I realised the problem. The ex-batts however thought the Omlet crumb was brilliant. The ex batts' food is higher in vitamins, protein etc. Sure someone with more knowledge will pop along shortly and give you the right answer. However, probably more a case of whether your existing girls will eat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LottyJ1 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Your existing birds will be fine eating the ex-batt food. Its just a good quality food to support them when they are rehomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
