Why is my New Hampshire Red so skinny?

[fiberart57]

My NHR is slender, not really skinny. She eats all the time, is the first one to the treats, but stays thin. Metabolism I guess. Frankly, I wish I could eat as much as she does and stay slender.

Anyway, I think it's particular to egg layers that they don't get too fat. I know that NHR are supposed to be a dual purpose breed, but mine's kind of stringy also.

Looks good to me I have a little red ee hen that is thinner and she eats and lays just fine she has just always been on the thinner side.

I ordered RIR's & I kept 2. Come to find out one of my RIR's is actually a PR. My PR is considerably leaner than my RIR.

My skinny chicken died last night, we dont know why. When my dad went to let them out, she was already dead

So sorry, I know that must have been a shock since she seemed to be acting ok.
