Overweight female birds are poor egg producers ditto underweight birds.

overweight females in poultry, especially in breeder flocks, can cause several serious production problems. Maintaining the correct body weight in breeder hens is critical for achieving good fertility, hatchability, and egg production.

Production from overweighted and underweighted is not going to be optimal. Further, making females overweighted is more costly than rearing females to the proper weight.
