So I have a roo with scissor beak (He takes up a portion of every thread I post), and I realized he is thin, even for a rooster. My mom also tells me he is rather bony and should be fed more. I’ve been hand feeding him a mix of foods at least 4 times a day, and I have felt a very small change in his weight, which is good! I’m just wondering if there are better ways I could be doing this. He gets fed a wide range of treats and goodies that the girls go crazy over like mealworms, corn, greenbeans, pears, etc. I even gave him yogurt and wet cheerios this one time, but he got more on his face and feathers than his mouth before knocking over the bowl lol. I also figured he needs to eat more calcium since he recently got a beak injury.
What are the safest/best foods to give for healthy weight gain?
What are the safest/best foods to give for an increase in calcium?
What foods are in general the best and easiest to deliver vitamins and nutrients to a chicken’s body?
I’ve looked up a bunch of foods for people to eat that would solve these problems, but I didn’t find something for chickens, so I wanted to ask around here ;w;
