I was given a turken hen she is the last of 10 that have starved to death. When i picked her up she has no muscle tone. just skin and bones. She did have 3 chicks with her that she hatched. I have the chicks in my house in a brooder but it is to small for the hen. I went ahead and put the hen in with my flock. Did not want to but since i lack a extra pen i had no where else to put her. She will be eating Layer crumbles and i also feed them a couple hand fulls of scratch daily. Do you think this will be enough to keep her alive and fatten her up? or is any thing else i can feed her that is real high energy. Its been cold here and its been a couple weeks since its been above freezing. They are saying it might hit 33F today but as of 2:30 pm its only about 25F. So i know she is spending lots of energy just staying warm. Other than being starved she seems healthy and is holding her own with my hens.
Thank you
