    My chickens keep on dying :( One after another

    Hi I buy fresh feed from my seller and I know she gets it fresh on a weekly basis but I have no idea how old it would be before she buys her supplies. She gets through many bags weekly and from her having it to me feeding it would be a maximum of 4 weeks before its used.

    Hi there food is stored in a galvanised bin in their coop which is a dark shed and very cool. No damp. Changed regularly as they use it I usually use 2 bags a month but obviously it will be dramatically reduced now I only have 3 girls left.
