Thanks! I'll check out the kibble. I feed everything else that you suggested...among other things. I just need her to put that weight back on in a hurry. She actually conditioned while brooding the chicks, so I would like her back up to par before showing. Skin and bones right now.

I have a little white pullet that is in need of some weight gain. She brooded chicks and now I need to gain that weight back. I don't particularly want to give her corn, as it will yellow her a bit. Any suggestions to chunk her up a bit?

Got some new pics. This little Monkey is becoming very handsome...4 months Old

Where's Waldo?

Gorgeous!!

I received mine last week and I couldn't believe how well they were wrapped! Can't wait for some Catdance chicks.

Iris is broody! I'm not totally happy about it because she is a nice breeding hen. She has now committed to being broody, but only while in with her flock. I have tried isolating her previously and she abandoned the eggs. This time, I am not going to be fussy about where she decides to set...

Thanks for your responses everyone!

At first I thought she was sick huddling in the corner, I noticed that she had assumed that broody crouch. When I tried to pick her up, she growled at me...Low and behold...hogging everyone's eggs. So much easier to let Mamma hen hatch and raise them. I'll put them under her tonight.

Quick question....I have another hen that has decided to go broody which I am Ok with. She has been setting for about 3 days, the eggs are infertile, but I have a few bantam cochins eggs in the incubator that are on day 13. Can I give those eggs to her or does she need to set for a certain...

So funny! My husband has the brilliant idea of moving to a town that doesn't allow chickens...my answer was "The town doesn't allow chickens, so that would be a "no" to moving there". We have far too many silkies to "hide" and that just wouldn't work. He truly acted like he expected me to say...

Congratulations! I am so happy for you, he is just darling!

Our first broody. Momma (Julia) and baby. Growing monkeys

Peep, that boy is GORGEOUS!!!! I always appreciate your new avatar pics.

It's a great name!

I have been thinking about you lately, hoping you are doing ok.

That's a bummer! Now your post number has to start again...I'm going to have to get used to the name and realize it's you.

I pet them out. My sweetest birds are often the ones that are lacking in one area or another. They have wonderful personalities and will make phenomenal pets for someone that will appreciate them or make great broodies for someone hatching flighty breeds. I have a couple of chicks with curved...

Does anyone feed their silkies fermented feed? I am thinking of using it as a supplement.
