Are my hens too thin?

Should I be able to feel the bone that runs down the center of their chest? It's kind of prodominant.

Helpful chicken friends should be along soon to advise. Post a picture so they can better assist you!

I am able to feel the chest bone without too much trouble and mine are plump and healthy. Maybe tell us breed and weight (if your able to get it)and age. And a picture would help us tell

She is a speckled sussex approximetly 10 months old.

From the picture she looks like a healthy size bird. And beautiful. Do you know her weight? ( I have an extra kitchen scale I use as my chicken scale ). I way mine from time to time just so I know in case a problem occurs

I don’t know a whole lot about that breed and it’s probably the angle of the pic. but for 10 months old she doesn’t look thin but smaller than I’m used to. But I normally get bigger breeds. But to me she doesn’t look thin.
