Update,, no prints and all chicks are secured and doing good. ive been hooking on additional bars to the front of the cage so that nothing can open the door

Rats are a possibility for sure. Mainly didn't think it could be a rat because so much of the chick was taken, like it had to be a starving and/or strong animal. But then again she was the smallest ): I just set up a flour trap. Laid down a dark tarp around the cage and put a nice wide border...

Thank you for your kind words, it means so much to me. My fiance seems to think it couldn't have been a coyote but I think it might be a possibility. There were no tracks though and the struggle spot was so small, but I guess anything is possible.

I've seen a lot about raccoon attacks and also thought the same thing, but raccoons are not native in this area and I've noticed the cat hanging around our apartment specifically for weeks. The neighbor was putting cat food out for her but I haven't seen any food in that bowl for over a week

And I'll definitely be getting a trap. I know the cat is hungry but these are my babies we're talking about. I wish my neighbor was responsible

Thank you for your swift reply 💕 I'll mention that the pullets I have are just small enough that they can stick their little heads through the bars and they were sleeping like that for a couple nights. It worried me but I should have done something about it sooner. My guess is that the cat was...

This morning I came out to a decapitated pullet. This is the first time this has happened to me here, but we think it was our neighbor's cat who keeps escaping. I also think it's the neighbors cat because one of the others has a small cat-like scratch on her nose, that was not there last night...

Thank you so much! I'll give them some time. Mainly right now I'm seeing 3 possible cockerels, 8 weeks old and already have color while my other 13 week olds are showing much less color. I think I'm gonna give them all to 12 weeks and then downsize

thank you guys! It's always been a dream of mine to own a couple white leghorns, so I really hope they work out

Hi, just wanna say that it's best to look into the laws of your area, and if it's even legal for you to have a rooster. In my county, you have to have like 7 acres per rooster. Also you don't need a rooster to enjoy keeping chickens, and in my experience the hens are more pet-like and less...

Thank you! The barred rock, 2 leghorns and 3 of the lavendars are all pretty social and dont mind being held, so i know im keeping them. Now with the remaining 5 I just have to figure out who is a cockerel. I really wish they matured faster so I could know for certain already lol

I went a bit chick crazy this past spring and have 11 chicks that are about 7 weeks old. 4 lavender orpingtons, 1 white orpington, 1 mystery, 1 barred rock (im guessing), 1 buff brahma, 1 ancona and 2 white leghorns. At 7 weeks old, one of the lavenders is already showing some red and comb...

Happy to hear she's doing better! I was terrified that the lack of response meant that something bad happened </3

How is she doing?

Bumping for you! I'm not an expert. All I can ask is what you're feeding them and if they have fresh clean water available?

About 105 F down here in cali. It's the worst because I'm currently integrating chicks to the outdoors so I wake up early to give frozen treats and fresh water in new containers

You'd be correct. All the same bird

I picked her up on March 4th which would make her approx 12 weeks old, but she is developing slower than the other chicks her age. Thank you for your help guys (:

Was told they were a gold star which I know to be a specific "brand" of red sex links. The other one I got is pretty much a solid red. I'm thinking hen but there is a bit of color in the comb and waddles. When she was a chick, her down was pretty light so I was convinced that she was a roo but...
