Acting normal, but skinny

[morganstig]

Hi all!

I’ve noticed that several chickens in my flock seem thin when I feel their breast bones. They are acting normally, laying, have had no diet changes, and I haven’t noticed any worms in their poo.

My flock is comprised of chickens ranging from almost a year to five years old.

I was thinking of worming with safeguard just in case, but wanted to see what others thought.

TIA for your thoughts!

Mine are kind of skinny right now, too. Overall fine, just not as chunky as they used to. I assumed they used most of their energy over the winter keeping warm, and thats why they lost some weight.
