Hiya
I have two chickens for eggs - a Whitestar and a Goldline - for some time now I have noticed that the Goldline is looking thin (she is also moulting) - she is producing good eggs, though smaller than the Whitestar, her comb is a nice red and standing up.  She is as active as the Whitestar.  Any ideas as to why she would be so thin and what can I do to put some weight on her?

hi sue, and welcome to the nut... henhouse.

does she need worming?

a picture may also help, we like pictures on here

I did wonder if she needed worming so have just ordered some wormer off the internet (Flubenvet Intermediate).  I have only had them since Feb, so am new to the chicken keeping but enjoying it (and the daily eggs)

flubenvet will be just perfect.

be warned chooks are very addictive, and youve found the right place. lots of wonderful friendly help and advice on here.

A couple of pics - will get a more recent one of the Goldline when it stops raining...

Meet Porridge (whitestar) and Amber (Goldine)...
