She's so fat!

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

I dont know what to do for her and I feel like a bad hen owner.  One of my hens is obese.  I've tried to stop her from eating so much but she butts the other girls out of the way and stands right in the middle of her food dish.  If I reduce the gains then the others arent getting enough. She doesnt even come out of the coop for recess anymore she just sits in there like a couch potato.  Maybe I need to seperate her for a while so she doesnt eat as much grain as the others? More outdoor time for her?

 

I dont want her to have a heart attack because I do love my hens a bunch.  hit.gif
