Skinny chicken

[chantelbedlington]

I have one hen who is far skinnier than the others. She's kinda stayed skinny. The others left their awkward teen years and got big and fat, but she didn't. She otherwise seems healthy. She eats well, drinks, is active and playful. She just hasn't got as fat and Fluffy.

Should I be concerned?

Can you feel more of her bones than the other hens? Does she seem like she's starving?

As long as she's active and doesn't feel like a skeleton, I wouldn't worry too much.

No, she doesn't feel boney and doesn't seem to starve by any means. Her comb is also much smaller than her sisters, who just started laying yesterday. So maybe she's just a late bloomer.
