We have two Buff Orpingtons (H & G)
Two silkies (GS & TinyS)
And one Australorp (BB)

I'm a little bit worried that G isn't gaining weight as quickly as the others. She also looks developmentally behind (she's the more yellow chick, not gold). Is there anything I can do to help her gain weight? She's a super sweet gal and I'd hate to see her go to chicken heaven (that already happened with another buff we had and a japanese batam). G has also been pecking a ton on all the other chicks, especially our Australorp! Is there again anything else I can do to stop her pecking? We have a mirror, xylophone, and perching structure already in the coop inside and they have a ton of room to run around. We feed them the Purina start and grow (I believe that's the name).

Thanks y'all! 💜

I'd suggest supplementing them with some Farmers Helper UltraKibble. It's a Ration that you add to their food. It's 29% protein.
