    We do have quite a few chicken and egg producers here. Going to make some visits to find out what they feed and where to get it. I'm quite sure it's coming from one of the mills around here.

    Back to starter feed. Going to try that. Quite spendy though. When I say they get fruits and vegetables it not like that's a huge part of what they get. They do range all day.

    Any signs we had at all was the day before could tell something wasn't right. Slowed down, and kinda separated itself from the rest. What signs would I look for? Remember I am as new to chickens as they are to me. 6 months now.

    Have had two orphingtons pass about two week apart. Exact same thing. Seems fine, within 24 hrs weak, and lethargic, stops eating and drinking then dies suddenly. What can kill so fast and seem to pick on one at a time. 6 month old birds, only the orpfies affected? Could it be a injury? All...
