We have a 7.2 month barred rock hen that i read should be 7-8 pounds... she only weighs 4-4.5!
she has been bullied a LOT in the past, (still missing head feathers) and forced to hide up by the nesting boxes all day, away from the food. Could that be it? or the stress of being pecked? she made a lot of nervous chirps and still does around the other hens, but they let her hang out with them now.
thanks
