Mash takes a hen considerably longer to eat than a pellet, which suits birds that would otherwise clear the trough in minutes and spend the rest of the day looking for something to peck at.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the 5kg carry-home pack: roughly a fortnight for three or four hens, and the sensible way to try the mash before committing to a 20kg bag.
