Hi there,
I have one hen in my flock of six that I feel is thin. I can really feel her keel bone. She is a GL Wyandotte. She goes broody often and I catch it quick and broody break her and return her to the flock within three days. She is bottom or one higher than the bottom of the pecking order because of the broodiness I think. She holds her own pretty well. I have two feeders. The other hens don't seem to be keeping her away from food. I don't see any mites, lice or bumblefoot. The flock is 8 months old.
Any suggestions what else I can do for her?
