I bought these hens last year as pullets. Never again will I buy from the same hatchery. I bought them debeaked, I didn't know they were debeaked until I brought them home. I was planning on returning them the next day but decided to keep them. They eat well, purina layena layer pellets(yes, they can eat pellets), veggies, fruit, sunflower seeds, boiled eggs and boiled chicken(as long as they don't know, who cares). I also give them organic apple cider vinegar in their water and chopped garlic in the food. I feed them a can of corn a day(no salt). Alright they eat a lot of food, but I always make sure they eat their own food and enough of it before I give them extra stuff. They have oyster shell and grit available in the coop. They have about 3 acres of land to freerange. I have seven birds. The reason I am asking is because recently one of my birds was sick and I took her to the vet and they said she was very thin. They are red sex links which I read was suppose to be a lightweight bird. Give me your opinions.
