What do you feed her?
I had a few like that,
one of them is my fattest hen, another is the biggest, and the other is small but very healthy and fast

She gets Chick feed for 90% of her food with the last week free ranging in my backyard. She gets an occasional worm from me and I give all the chicks a scoop of oats once and a while. Well and yesterday all the chicks mobbed the cat and stole his tuna, that was a sight.

Ya, it reminded me of an opening scene in one of the Jurrasic Park Movies. They approached him all friendly like and then smelled the tuna and went crazy. I am tempted to feed him tuna again with my camera in tote. Its amazing how much they resemble our interpatation of dinosaurs.

Last summer I was out with the chickens while they were free ranging and my calico walked over to me and layed down on the ground.

The chickens slowly made their way over to her and she stretched out all relaxed and calm.

All of a sudden BAM chickens start pecking at her, she jumped nearly 3 feet in the air and took off. It was the funniest thing ive ever seen.

She will probably be just fine if she is free range because then she can get all of the food that she needs,
When my chicks looked unwell I fed them cornmeal mixed with raw cows milk as a paste, it perked them right up!

I have read that raw oats are not so good for them but cooked oats are great,
I feed mine cooked oats.
yeah just regular cornmeal and if she gets really droopy then feed her raw egg yolk with eye-dropper
good luck!
