Are these essential, mine have layers pellets in the morning, and mixed corn mid afternoon, they are in a big run. that's got lots of grass, if I give them greens, lettuce/cabbage etc, they look at me as though I'm stupid, and leave it.

The other stuff is only a treat anyway so if yours won't eat it, don't bother giving it to them.
