I have a barred rock roo, im sure hes not a meat bird, so he feels a little on the light side. Is there anything i can feed him for the next week or two to bulk him up a little? I have oats. And i was thinking to get some corn. But im not sure if that woukd just make for a fatty bird. Any suggestions?
 
Yeah, pretty much what you see is what you're going to get at this point. There's not much you can feed them to add muscle in a short period of time. I think corn can add a layer of fat under the skin, but not actual meat.
