foreveryoung Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 hello, I have 3 rather skinny girls, rather hen pecked too, I was wondering it i should seperate them from the other girls and give them their own food for a couple of weeks allowing them to fatten up a tad as you can see thir brest bone quiet clearly, they go to bed with reasonably full crops... they have a feeder that they all can get round from any direction, treats are seperated around the run in the afternoon (not every day).. they have been wormed and mite treated, Ive also had them on thier backs while i looked for mites an I cant find any.. Im at a loss as to what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mollie333 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 You could seperate them, or better option make sure there are two feeders and two drinkers avalible. I had to do this with Pat, because the other girls can't share there food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickyhazel Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 We have 4 feeders between 9 girls in the , and 2 feeders between 4 girls in the to make sure everyone gets enough. If you have multiple feeders spread around it should help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I would treat them for worms first and then try to fatten them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
