Hi BYC peeps!
I have an 8 month old silkie who just got over being sick. My vet told me that she is a bit under weight. She eats and drinks normally, but I want to fatten her up more. FIY, I am not planing to cull her for food, this is just so that she can be healthy. Does anyone have a good tip to fattening them up quickly? Thanks so much!
 
I did a looking looking around and didn't really find anything. You want healthy weight gain. So generally that's not quick.
I swear I read somewhere that walnuts are good for putting on a little weight. Of course I can't find where I read that now that I'm looking for it.
You could always increase the protein intake. Especially after sickness it helps them recover a little faster. Again not to much... to much protein causes other problems.
I think the best you can do is give her time.
 
We can't fatten up chickens ..but after an Recovery giving vitamin supplement (avoid B range in vitamins that B vitamin gives power to cocci protonza )
with amino acid work

Food like
Fresh Corn ..
Meat (Cooked)
