quickcluck Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 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 K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
