Hen is dangerously overweight. Help!

She doesn't look like a cornish to me either, but I've never had a rock that was glued to the food bowl and had trouble walking. I agree, maybe have someone else look at the walking issue. Even my fat chickens don't fall over when they jump from a high height.

Oo! We need video.

I think she should be fine if she does not get any bigger

Your hen doesn't look fat or like a cornish cross. Here is my 1 year old cornish cross.

And I have hen that I was told was a White Leghorn, but she looks just like your hen.

I don't know, Darcy kind of looks like that hen to me... Or maybe I'm just crazy?

I'm hoping for Plymouth Rock. I'd be heartbroken if poor little Darcy died young. :c

Do have any lower pictures with a view of her legs? Frontal picture?

Here you go:





Sorry I don't have any really good pictures; Darcy doesn't like the camera. That's the only front (well... kinda front) picture I could get, sorry.

If I had a way to get a video quickly uploaded, I'd do it. Unfortunately, I won't have time to do that today. I'm sorry!

Try and get some better pic's, maybe some of her just free ranging you don't have to get to close and spooker her zoom in.

I will take pictures of my tyson chickens in a few weeks and post them for you
