The white leghorn is supposedly dual purpose, well I guess any chicken can fall under that category...
What I would like to know if feeding a high protein mash (feather fixer, scrambled eggs, oats) would be a good way to add a bit of fat/weight to a bully leghorn. I seperated her out today, large dog crate in the coop. Her own water and feed. Limited movement. Just finally got disgusted with her, she is 10 months old now. She is a rather lean bird now just want to add some weight to her before she meets the block.
Advice appreciated. Thanks!
She drew blood on several of the other hens combs pecking one just above the eye, this was while I was feeding a treat. She has always been a bully and it has escalated so she jumps now trying to use her claws. So to the pot she goes.
