My Chicken is Very Light

[EffietheSilkie]

My Silkie chicken seems very light her breed is a silkie so it shouldn't be supper heavy but she stills seems much lighter than my other silkie. So are there any treats I can give her to make her a little bigger? I have heard of giving them egg yolks or worms? For egg if it works should it be cooked raw or boiled? Thanks for the Help

Sure you can give them eggs (better cooked, since they no longer look like eggs), tinned fish is also good. I'd be inclined to de-worm the flock, if you have not done so for a while

Hard boiled or scrambled eggs is fine, but never raw. If given raw egg they will learn to eat their own eggs.

Good chance that your light silky just isn't quite as mature as the others. One of my BRs is significantly larger than all the others and one a bit smaller than the others; all are the same age.

Thank you, I will try giving her egg. I did deworm them when I first noticed this problem but may try it again. Thank you very much

I have 5 Golden Comets, 15 months old tomorrow. When I pick them up, I notice different sizes and weights between them. Always have been, since young pullets.
They can vary, just like family members can. GC
