Can anyone tell me what breed she is? I have 6 hens and she’s by far the heaviest and seems to have issues roosting and she limps at times probably bc she struggles jumping down from things bc of her weight. I’m wondering if she’s a meat bird bc she got big fast. She’s 1.5 yrs and i got her from tractor supply.

White Plymouth Rock is my guess as well. How high are your roosts? You may need to lower them and provide soft bedding to land on to prevent further injuries.
 
My roosts are very low with hay bedding underneath. I never see what she does to hurt it but she’ll just randomly start limping. We’ve inspected the leg and can’t see anything and she doesn’t seem to be in pain but she’s definitely laying down a lot and limping.
