Skinny hens?

[my5hens]

I have a small flock of 5 RIRs and two of them seem to be skinny. I can feel their breastbone more than the other 3. The other 3 seem to be on the chubbier side. Its not like they dont eat, I feed them and I see them eat but the other 3 seem more ravinous. I'm thinking maybe pull the two skinny girls aside and feed them seperatly?

It could be that they are on the bottom of the pecking order and don't get as much as the others...I would possibly feed them separately for a while but if that doesn't work I would watch for worms of some sort. Good luck

I hope they do ok.

I would worm them and then supply a extra food dish. No need to pull them out if you only have 5 hens.
