Fattening

What would be the ideal feed organic or not to get a chicken fat?besides your normal broiler feed.

Why would you want a chicken to get "fat." An overweight bird is not healthy. Chickens can have the same obesity related health problems that people have. It puts them at risk for heart failure. If you want to put more meat on their bones, feeding them a complete, nutritionally balanced chicken feed and giving them plenty of opportunity for exercise is a good way to raise strong, healthy birds.

As noted above by @junebuggena there is no advantage to creating an obese bird, in fact many disadvantages.
Perhaps you can better explain your goals here so we can best advise you - are you growing wanting to put size on a meat bird for a better dressed weight, do you have an underweight bird that you are trying to recondition?

Organic, non GMO, regular, none of those labels make a difference in putting meat on a bird. Just the percentage of protein, and possibly the type of protein, but every person has different ideas and requirements for protein source. We like fish meal and soybeans which some people won't touch (especially if the intended consumer has soybean sensitivity or allergy.) fresh clover and meal worms are great protein sources for our chickens as well.
Sometimes store bought food uses animal byproducts, which some people LOVE (not for us) but other bags are proud to be "vegetarian" which means no source of animal made protein is in the food, we believe chickens are omnivores though and think that a better chicken is made from multiple sources of protein energy and food.
But they all end up basically the same weight unless you restrict feed.

I am assuming the OP doesn't actually mean to make a chicken fat as in adding fat to their body, but "fat" as in more muscle meat on their bone for eating purposes. Agreed with others, actually making them fat (adipose tissue) is not a good idea. Adding meat, that is okay.

It will depend on the breed and the feed of course. Feed a higher protein feed to a known meat bird, whether a Cornish Cross or a "dual purpose" bird. Don't feed many (if any) low-protein kitchen scraps or scratch grain. These will dilute their protein and slow the muscle growth.

We haven't raised cornish cross, but if we were, we would put them on a diet of 2-3 meals a day and encourage them to free range, so they don't grow too fast and have the common health problems associated with that breed. We have raised Dark Cornish and Barred Rock for meat, which are slow-growing heritage birds. We found that free ranging them too much really slowed down their (meat) growth, so we kept them penned up with their feed for most of the day and let them out for 2-3 hours a day (instead of 8-12 hours like the other birds).

I didn't meant to make it obese. add more beat to bones. Not obese my bad.

What breed are you feeding, how old are the birds and what is your goal weight/size?

Okay - RSL are not generally big birds and yours are at a mature age, have they lost condition and you are wanting to bring them back up?

I'm trying to bring them back up
