Underweight chicken?

Recommended Posts

Laying hens are thiner than table birds as all their energies go into producing eggs, not breast meat, and they are bred for this. So long as she is otherwise well, and laying, I wouldn't worry.

 

You could try cutting back on treats and get her to eat up her pellets.

 

Might be worth worming her as a precaution.
