Oh it was all so sad. I had a period of about a month where one of my ladies died every week.
We never discovered what was wrong but I am increasingly thinking some kind of poison - maybe mold in feed or something.
I lost both the Roadrunners and I miss them dearly - as well as two of the three new chicks. The remaining one survived and is now top hen.
My older ones also died but they were all production breeds and nearly four so I think that was more like bad genes, reproductive issues etc.

I have a Roadrunner in my new batch of chicks though so far she doesn't really look like the others so I am not sure if she will really be a Roadrunner. She is very cute and her name is Winnie (the Pooh). She is the one with the crest nearest the camera.
