I am a little concerned about my BR hens. The three of them are 10 months old and they look a little thinner than they did just a few weeks ago. I keep layer pellets available all the time and feed scraps once a day. I also hang a cabbage in their run for fun. They are very active and seem happy, just a little thin. I have checked their poop and see no worms. I will check for mites today or tomorrow -- it's raining cats and dogs now. I looked at the Breed Standard and it says 7 1/2 lbs for BR's. I may try to weigh them if it ever stops raining. Also, they have each been laying an egg a day all winter. Assuming no mites, how can I fatten up the girls, or is it necessary?
I will also get pic's up later, I know 1 pic is worth 1,000 words.
Thanks
