This chicken is a gluttonous dinosaur

One of my roosters is named Chonky boy because he’s hefty

Most of my birds don't have names but I think this one will end up being Chonk if he stays.

I usually use one of those little covered trough feeders with the holes for dry crumb to stop them kicking it everywhere (they're mostly on mash so they think plain, dry chick crumb is a treat ) but I've had to stop that after he got his big fat head stuck in it Even the broilers I raised last year never managed that and one of them was hefty enough to be named Fatty McNugget.

Not caught him eating anything especially weird or gross yet, but I feel like this Barred Rock chick belongs on this thread? He's the fattest chick I've ever seen!

His best pal is a tiny Shetland chick that hatched with an unabsorbed yolk and is doing well but still half the size of the others and probably only about a third of the size of chonky boy here.

He’s not fat, he’s fluffy!

He’s not fat, he’s fluffy!

Definitely a bit of both!
