15 pound laying hen

[Rj032415]

hi I am new to this I have been following back yard chicken for many years. I have this one chicken she is about 6 years old I believe she is a Orpington Cross with a production red. She still lays an every day. Over the past 2 years she had put on a lot of weight she can still get around but you can tell she is starting to slow down. I weighed her today and she weighs 15 pounds. All my other chickens are perfect weight. How do I get her to lose some weight? Is this normal for a laying hen to get that big? Please help

Yeah! That is fat! Wow. I would make her walk. What are you feeding her?

She is on all organic non gmo layer feed I get it from Keystone mills down the street from me. She also free ranges all day in pasture. She doesn’t seem to eat a lot of feed

If she is free ranging I think she would have a better weight

Do you have a picture of her? That sounds huge.

Wonder if it's a physical issue going on ... You should post this in the Emergencies, Disease, Injury and Cures forum. I'd like to see a picture also Sounds HUGE!
