I would REALLY like to see more information on determining whether a chicken is overweight. Especially diagrams for keel condition, because I frequently see newbies misinterpret keel checks and think their normal bird is fat. I think that's just as important if not more than giving strategies for weight loss as newbies may use said strategies inappropriately. That said, important issue especially in backyard settings, and good article topic.
Great article! Good information for chicken owners from all experience levels.
Lots of great information to be considered for all chickens whether overweight or not, and several neat ideas and tips! Good for new and old chicken owners.
This article was very interesting to read. I've never heard of overweight chickens before (besides breeds bred for it), so this was very eye-opening for me. This is definitely a great article to raise awareness on chickens becoming overweight as well. The tip on how to tell if your chicken is overweight was an awesome bonus that'll help a lot.
