We had to leave unexpectedly and were gone for 2 weeks. We had someone take care of my chickens while we were gone. but now they are not laying. and one chicken passed away today. I don't know what to do to help them be their old self. Are they sick? how can I tell? help!
I was told these were buff orpington chickens but again I believe they are something else. They even make a slightly different sound. Think I won't buy any more chicks from this one place. So, any input would be appreciated.
I bought 6 what were supposed to be Black Jersey Giants but after they started to molt(?) they started to grow feathers on their feet. So now I have no idea what I have. Then: now: what breed of chicken is this?
