Whatever it was literally at half, bones and all, the first night. The following day i went back to look closer for clues, chicken was moved and everything had been ate except for the legs/feet. And it moved it 3 more times, plucking more and more feathers.

I have narrowed it down to fox, bob cat, or coyote. They are very common in my area. I do have goats as well, one baby, and it hasnt messed with them.

I I have looked for dropping, and cant find any, or clear tracks. I was told bob cats tend to pluck chickens. They are being taken at night time, they free range and have a coop, but they dont like to use the coop, they prefer to roost in trees, and this particular rooster roosted on top of...

Something has been picking off my chickens, one at a time. Up until yesterday I have one seen a few feathers left here or there. About 100yds from the coop at the end of my driveway I found a pile of feathers(see pics below) followed across the road to and old road bed and found 2 more piles...

That's what was so confusing for me, the coloring threw me off! I will have EE'S of many colors.

Gonna set up separate pens for the ones that are same breed. All the ee's together in one( since I now have a roo) , blr wyndottes hen and roo in another, and so on...

Thank you! I suppose I'll wait for him to start crowing soon too! This will make number 6 that I'm sure of being a male.

Rooster?? All of my other EE are wheaton, blue wheaton, and black with brown feathering. So I was so confused with this one, plus "he" was bought when TSC had speckled Sussex, Russian orloff, and ameracaunas for sale at the same time, I purchased some of all 3 but lost a few chicks and couldnt...

These chicks were supposed to be from a show girl to show girl hatch. I'm doubting that now, and I didn't see potential parents. So if I breed these back to a silkie basically I have a 50/50 chance of the type of feathering they will have?

I bought two show girls earlier this year. They have the naked neck, one is splash, and the other blue. They have they grey skin of a silkie and 5 toes however, they seem to have normal feathering. Do I need to cross them back to a silkie to get the silkie type feathering?

Thanks y'all. I have a few ideas. I have moved the coop to a dryer area for now, and can hopefully have something rigged up before our next rainy day. :D

Yes

My biggest issue with fixing the soil itself is I move my coop around to give them fresh spots to scratch in, dig for bugs, and be chickens. My older chickens are free ranged, and these will be too once bigger but I have them in this while they grow, plus it allows my older flock to get use to...
