Is this where your poorly Orps are from? 
It might not be the case but because your hens are poorly I would be cautious about reccomending at the moment.
It could be related to the gene pool and breeding management of your supplier.

They could be fantastic, but my alarm bells are ringing.
I hope this helps.
Unfortunately I have lost out due to less than scrupulous breeders of fancy hens and rare breeds in the past. You can spend a lot of money and collect a lot of heart ache.

Hi, yes this is where my poorly Orps are from but I honestly don't think it's anything to do with the breeder. She's a very committed breeder and is always available for help and advice and I've had my chooks for over a year now - and they were laying fabulously in the spring and were perfectly well.
Only two of the four are under the weather too.  :chook:
