My chickens love to eat and eat, so they get mealworms and scratch with open feeding. Its getting cold and I would like food ideas for them thats warm (not hot!) also any ideas to help add fat to my chickens?

Have you read about fermented feed? It’s a great way to feed them healthy feed that’s better for them .

I sprout lentils /mung beans and wheat.
High protein source .

You don’t want them fat , higher protein will help them grow and be strong .

I give them lentils but they turn their nose up at it, and the reason I want fat is because on of my chickens is alittle to skinny for my liking and i would love to make her gain some weight. (egg laying chickens by the by!)
