#chickens #predators

I’ve had my chickens for nearly 3 years. Added 4 more to the 4 original last in May/June when their feathers grew in. I found that 2 chickens were missing the other night. Instead of being sleeping in the coop, they slept on top of the coop a lot this winter. I just thought they didn’t like it...

A fox recently took my only large rooster while I wasn’t home. And unfortunately we couldn’t find his body, but we found two fox dens while following the the trail of feathers that was left behind. He was a large silkie rooster and pictures of him are shown below. Is there any way I can keep it...

Hello! I have a good sized flock and we live in New England. I started off with around 37 chickens and now I only have 28. I lost these 9 chickens due to hawks and coyotes, but I am really not sure how to stop my numbers from lowering. Please halp. Thanks.
