Hello!
I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I’ll try anyway. My ladies are about 28 weeks now. I’ve noticed over the past couple weeks one of hens is a lot lighter than the other four. I’ve also been short one egg everyday too. Not sure if that’s connected. Anyway, I have one underweight hen. She won’t eat my chicken feed; she just picks it up and spits it out, as if it tastes bad. But she does eat watermelon, worms, grass and treats. I noticed this weight difference once I switched to a new food. Did I spoil her too much with treats? And if so, why didn’t the other chickens become spoiled too?
also how can I can get my underweight lady to a normal weight ? I think she weighs 2 or 3 pounds? Compared to my others, who feel like 5.
thank you,
Emily
