I have a silkie hen about 8 months old that is thin. She seems to eat good. I feed layer pellets with scratch as a treat. The layer pellets are available at all times. What can I feed her to put some weight on her before winter? My other silkie hen the same age is a good weight.
 
I would say start with putting ACV with mother in the water - 1 TBLE. per gallon of water. Everyone will benefit from that. Second, I would probably give some Avia Charge 2000. It won't hurt. You can find that at McMurray Hatchery. Try some plain yogurt, otameal and some hard boiled eggs for starters. Cracked corn and such should be saved for cold temperatures. Hope this helps a little.
