    Idaho?

    I am so sorry I wish I could help you the only thing I can come up with is a virus because of loosing your other chickens or possibly drastic changes in the weather which is really hard on all critters. Have you changed feed? same brand of feed just a new bag. This is all I can think of.

    I am not sure what breed I will be getting I am leaning towards Giant Cochins I don't know if I can get them local or not right now I am still in the planning stage. how big of a coop would I need for 6-8 chickens or would I need an even dozen. Would cochins be good layers/egg producers
