Do you think she is on the heavy side at 6.0 pounds? She has always felt like my leanest, strongest bird. The only one who seems maybe slightly heavy is my Barred Rock, Bridget. She’s the second heaviest to my Light Brahma. Heavier than my Buff Orp (who actually feels skinny across the breast, which is hidden by all her fluff).
 
Oh wow! I've been back and forth between my computer and phone and now I see the reading material. I will check it out.

My breeds:

Two Year Olds
  • Plymouth Barred Rock
  • Brown Leghorn
  • Black Australorp
  • New Hampshire Red (died at 1.5 yrs old at about 4.0 pounds... she was a bit emaciated, but always the smallest even before then)
One Year Olds
  • Light Brahma
  • Buff Orpington
  • Speckled Sussex
  • Silver Laced Wyandotte (she's tiny and threw a single comb... clearly genetically not quite right)
  • Blue Laced Red Wyandotte (nice and heavy, has a pea comb, but her colors are clearly "fake"... mine are all hatchery stock)
  • Buckeye (Ruby)

Here is their weight chart, but I have only been tracking (and not all that regularly) since November.

I would think that by one year of age their weight should stay the same.
I'm noticing a trend here...almost all of the weights go up.
