    I have found that my chickens look on the skinny side. And am going to up the food I am giving them. Also, I was wondering what I could give them (outside of normal feed) to help them pack on a bit more weight for the winter???
    Thanks in advance,

    I would just give them free access to food, and scratch, or cracked corn is great to give them in the winter.
