My friend feeds her chickens organic pellets and has done so for years as she says there is much less waste than with crumbles. I was feeding my ladies organic crumbles because the lady at the feed store said that chickens prefer crumbles. On a fluke, I decided to give the pellets a try. No go. My chickens refused to eat them. My husband said that if they were hungry enough they would eat them.
Not wanting them to starve :), I started stirring kefir milk, milk, water, buttermilk - whatever liquid I had on hand - into the crumbles to make a porridge. The ladies gobbled this up!
