    skinny chicken

    I had a chicken attacked by others, after a lengthy recovery time she is eating and healed. She had stopped eating for a little and lost a lot of weight. Could I feed her a mix of layer pellets and game bird feed and ferment them together to put weight back on her? She's a Brahma.
