prof Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 one of my orps is obese . she is soooo fat and lazy that she wants to be broody (but is too greedy and forgets) and be confined to the broody cage!(where she can brood and turn her head for her own personal snack without having to walk) When my older hens are free ranging with my babies, during the day, she can be found eating their growers pellets! Does anyone else have this problem? I think i may have to have a stair lift fitted to the soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daffodill Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 My Orpington is just the same- the up side to this is that if she gets out of the run I just have to rattle a pot of mealworms and she comes running- well when I say running those little legs have a bit of trouble propelling that sort of weight at any speed-but you can see the determination in her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joza2210 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 My orpington is similar She eats that much sometimes that she cant digest it all and then she gets a massive crop ... Silly Girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISCA Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 My too are young but they do like their food much more than the other girls I have noticed They are quite frisky on their legs though and rush around like mad things, so hopefullly work it all off. They may slow down in time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
