Unsecure chicken perches

[quickcluck]

I know this sounds odd, as I've been keeping chooks for 3 or 4 years. But some of mine a quite thin! They are fully functioning and very happy chooks but very skinny!

 

I know hybrids are naturally thinner, but I'm feeling the need to fatten them up! They are fully wormed and laying well...

 

thanks

Perhaps as they are getting old they don't keep the weight on

 

You could put them onto growers (unmedicated) for a bit but they may go off lay.

One of mine looks really skinny, but she's the only one laying a the mo, two of mine look really porky, but hen I realised its not just that they eat EVERTHING they have very puffy feathers....my son actually said ' Hilda's sleek and meek, the others are puffy and huffy!'
