Need help diagnosing...

She doesn't have to guard the feeder for her to be dominate of the feeders.... she can be dominate by invading others personal space and stealing there treats from the yard and over time she gets use to that and she steals everyone's stuff and even spends most of her time at the feeder and then she gets obese

I never see that kind of behavior. My chickens have lots of room to roam, and many times they go off individually. I think I have seen her do that more than not.

Most hatcheries or places that have chicks often have obese chickens and that was inherited from his/her parents and so on and so on....
Most chicks come from obese chickens from a hatchery unless you hatch them

TAKE HER TO THE VET AND THEY WILL TELL U HER PROBLEM

 

[HenOnAJuneBug]

Obesity can also be a genetically inherited traits from her mom or Dad.. did u hatch that hen or did u buy the chick

They were kind of a mixed batch of the same breed bought from a local co-op, which means hatchery. I have thought that perhaps that this is just some kind of genetic problem, or birth defect, that she of 25 hens is the only one to have.

I am almost sure she is laying internally.
If you want to drain some fluid to help her feel a little better you can.
Draining too much too fast can kill her though.

Not an option.

If she bloated she'll pass even if you try to drain fluid... if she's obese she'll pass but u can stop that by walking her like I said... if she's egg borne she will pass from so many eggs backing up.... if she has some disease she will die.. TAKE HER TO THE VET PLZ!! So when she does pass you will not be left in the dark

If it's going to kill her anyway, I'd rather not do the needle thing. I went through that with a goat once, and that was very unpleasant.

 

[Carson20034433]

She probably has some sort of genetic problem.... even if it is obeseuty or bloating or whatever it's probably a genetic issue if it's anything at all that's just my opinion

 

[Carson20034433]

Try to design of the fluid but DONT do it fast or she'll die immediately and DONT drain to much
