How are you deciding she's overweight? What's her diet? Have you ever wormed your birds? Does she lay?

It's would be a but more to a lot more raised than the others. I'd try a vitamin supplement in their feed or water.

What's her diet? Can you tell if she has a vaulted skull?

Can you get a picture?

Press attach files to add pictures.

They can go out to the coop anytime, mine are out by a week. Just give them their heat plate at night.

Give the sick one back or cull and burn/bury. All new birds should be quarantined for atleast a month before introduction, just to be safe.
