Solving Omlet Smart Auto Door Timing Issues with Alexa Routines

One of my girls is very skinny.

 

what can I do to feed her up a bit?

 

She has Smallholder Layer Pellets and corn of an afternoon, plus access to the garden all day.

 

Any advice?

Firsstly I would try find out why she is skinny.... I would definately check for mites and lice...

Then I would worm.

Then I would mix some oil in with her feed - I use omega oil or linseed oil available from corn merchants.

Give her some poultry spice.

Perhaps give more corn than you have been doing although not necessarily a good thing as the poultry pellets are a well balanced feed.

I am sure if you try the above she will be putting the weight on in no time.

Good luck.

What type is she? A lot of the lying hybrids are skinny, and some breeds are more skinny than others. Does she seem well or ill? Is her comb a good colour and is she good and active? If she is well and at her "design weight" you don't want to make her fat. I have only limited experience, but have read (I think on this board) of people taking laying hybrids to a non-specialist vet and being told their hen is underweight and ill when she is just right for her breed type!

Ah, thank you. She's a Coral Nick.

No mites/lice etc.

She has had sniffles/cold but looks good now. She's behaving normally & comb is a good colour. Nothing to suggest she is poorly.

I'll worm them all though just to make sure.

 

Thank you
