Rooster is not eating as much

A gizzard rock is a small pebble/ stone that they consume to help break down the foods. It act like a food grinder for chickens.

If your chicken free ranges they can collect from the yard. If your rooster is inside only you will have to incorporate gizzard rocks into the food you feed. With out it the chicken have a hard time breaking down foods properly

Give a little yogurt with vitamins E and B complex.

Next, keep offering him egg, this is what he needs right now since he needs more protein.

Does he feel over or under weight?

Is there a specific brand I could get? Are the vitamins a separate supplement I would add to the yogurt? Okay, so giving him scrambled eggs is good so far?
