They seem wonderful, but I'm worried any I got would get too fat/have health issues.They are the sweetest breed there is! She’s so pretty.

That’s the risk I’m taking with her. I worry about her everyday, she does everything with me. My last was perfectly healthy at 2 1/2 years but she got attacked. That was about a year ago, we called her pancakeThey seem wonderful, but I'm worried any I got would get too fat/have health issues.
How do you reduce the amount that the CX eats without underfeeding the rest of the flock?For a while we were worried about that too, so we reduced the amount she ate and kept a close watch on her health. She seems very healthy and happy, and we're very glad we kept her! She also lays very large eggs. She once laid one that was bigger than a duck egg and then some!
We feed her separately from the flock. She gets plenty of exercise because she free ranges with the other hens, and she rewards us with torpedo eggs.How do you reduce the amount that the CX eats without underfeeding the rest of the flock?
Wow, that's a HUGE egg! :O
What type of feed do you give? And have a good night!Mine doesn’t lay yet, most of mine don’t (at 9 months) they’re all just a bunch of freeloaders Lol. I feed her and her flock of normal large fowl chickens a bucket of feed at 5:00 every day. She also gets free ranged and I make her fly small distances each day. She can fly up to the top of our swing, 4 feet. My last one layed jumbo eggs and they were creamish white.
I give her chick feed usually Nutrena brand since she’s not laying and she lives with 6 week olds. Don’t worry they get along fine surprisingly. And you have a good night too!What type of feed do you give? And have a good night!
No, I meant one big seperated coop for you’re rooster community. No need to give them individual coops as long as there are no hens involved in this setup.I now realize that you probably meant if I had a separate pen for each rooster. I didn’t, I had one pen with a big flock of only roosters in it. I don’t have my bachelor pad anymore, but not because the roosters didn’t get along.
