What breed is she? Broad Breasted Whites or Broad Breasted Bronze are often around that weight by this age especially if they're fed to be quickly ready for market. This often results in the birds have weak legs. She's not fat if you're planning on eating her, but you may want to restrict feed if you want to breed her/keep her as a pet.
