Re: Chickens not foraging

A month ago I wrote complaining that my chickens weren't eating, but instead foraging 100% of their rations. Now they are sitting around waiting to be fed, they are no longer foraging, and waiting for dinner to come to them. Is this a normal cycle? They seem otherwise healthy. I just wormed them, and haven't seen any "results" in their droppings.
Fowl are fairly good at picking the feed that they need when they need it. The exception is meat and live things of those they never appear to have enough.

Don't worry about what they are eating, unless their condition is falling off. I assume you are into the height of summer. Even fowls tend to take a spell for those hot summer days.
