i recently got a new chicken from a person formaly in ffa and she just gave me it becasue it had a emotional attachment. well anyways her neck was bent at birth and she walks funny but she eats wwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy too much! she just sits at the feeder and eats all day i lock her out of the coop sometimes because she will eat all the food. i dont have time to keep track of school chores homework and the chickens. what do i do.

Could you maybe post a pic of this said bird? I hope it's not a cornish x.

That is exactly what I am thinking, silkie.

Yep, I was thinking how a chicken could eat to much? Unless it is a cornishX.

Worms could be another potential. Robbing all the nutrients from the chicken so they consume more food.

How about just a quick description? Cornish X would be white so if your food fiend is a different color that would most likely indicate that it isn't a meat bird and if she isn't totally overweight a good candidate for deworming.
