Hello everyone, I have a question. I have 19 standards and 14 bantams, the big ones are in a big pen of their own, same as the bantams, everyone gets fed twice a day, grower food since they are about 16 weeks old or so and I plan to switch them to layer pellets when they reach 20 weeks. (If thats not okay, let me know) The question I have is the bigger ones and some of the bantams seem to light weight and their breast bone seems to be sticking out somewhat, like I said I feed morning and evening and they always have food left over the next morning and in the evening when the second feeding time comes around. Could they have some problems that I'm not aware of? Even though they are healthy looking and acting? They all appear to be healthy and happy anyway. I bought them from Orchelins, a local farm supply store as day old babies and I never lost a single one. I did however go back at a later date and bought some Black Crested Polish and lost 5 of them. But that was right off the bat when that happened back in March.
Thanks for any help you can offer. I just don't want them to be sick and I know hungry isn't the problem since they always have food in their bin constantly.
