green singer hen overeating

Just wondered if anyone can help. Bought a pair of green singers yesterday. I still have them in the quarantine cage. The female hasnt stopped eating since I bought them. She is bigger than the male and is constantly in the food bowl. Her feathers are a bit fluffed up but not much. I put some dewormer in their drinking water yesterday but she is still spending most of the time in the food bowl. Any suggestion?

Thanks

Alvin and Deanne

hi,

her droppings appear normal. i've moved her into a larger aviary so that she can get some exercise.

Definatelt strange, probably not a bad idea to move her into a larger flight.
