Can they eat too much?

Recommended Posts

Ginger my ranger looks fit to burst by the end of the day. She will continue to wolf down any food if I take treats out, but her crop looks massive...much bigger than the others. Is it possible for them to eat too much?

When this question has been asked before the advice is generally "don't worry, chickens are good at regulating how much they eat".

 

Is she laying? Chickens need a lot of food to have the energy to produce an egg a day.

 

If you're worried, let her out to free range if you can, which will mean she gets more exercise. If you can't do that, you could scatter food on the floor to encourage scratching and make it (a bit) harder for her to eat.
