🤔
Don't think we have egg-eating snakes here (although I do think one got two newly hatched chicks), but wouldn't rats also attack the birds?
I honestly, from past experience, think it's just the season. One of the reasons I got the Brahma and Chantecler as they are supposedly good winter...
Yup. Ducks don't eat their own eggs (that I've noticed) and the chickens only do if I forgot their calcium (egg shells!).
And believe me, if anyone came onto the property I would know! Between the geese and the dogs, it's a wonder I can still hear! :lau
