she has been broody since end of febuary. she hatched out chicks in march . i have her in a pen with her chick thats 7 weeks old . she has lost alot of weight she is a golden laced wyandotte. looks like a bantam size chicken right now . what can i feed her to fatten her up . she wont eat the layer mash in her feeder. i threw some bread down for her and she took right to that . i tryed putting her back in with the main flock but they go after her . she sits all crouched over poor thing looks awful. her tail pointed down .
 
cracked corn will get them fat, but try feeding her some protein. My broody gets pretty skinny too. Also try worming her.
