I have had 4 RIR for 2 weeks now. They are doing great...I thought. I clipped their wings tonight and it was the first time I held them. They all feel soooo skinny. I can feel their breastbone so easily. I wonder if they aren't eating enough. They have Start and Grow and I made them a new dish. Maybe it's hard for them to eat out of it? The level is going down so I know they are eating. Should I put out an additional dish in their run? Now I'm worried about them. I was all set to treat them as life stock that are here to produce eggs, but I am already attached! They make me laugh with their antics and personality.
Are my girls okay? How can I plump them up? They love treats...maybe just lots of treats...tomatoes, yogurt, oatmeal, etc.
Worried. I for sure am going to put out another dish. They are within 40-50ft of their dish at all times, but maybe they don't want to go back to their coop for some reason??
Thanks for any reassurance. Oh, and they are about 16 weeks.
