Chicken problems?

We purchased 20 10 month old chickens, and 4 pullets, more than a week ago.

We've been disappointed with egg production so far. I believe we've gotten 9 eggs total since we got them.

We knew they'd be stressed by the move and were hoping that as time went on, their egg production would pick up. And we still hope it will.

However...one chicken is dying of something respiratory.  Ugh. That is NOT good. Besides the fact that we feel sorry that we have a dying chicken, it may be that we have some respiratory virus that will sweep through our flock.

Some of the chickens have been looking quite sluggish. 

So...we may have a chicken disaster on our hands. Stay tuned for the next exciting installment of Chicken Adventures.
