Some of our losses included the Egyptians and Saipans, So I am deciding if I should try again with one of those breeds or both, or add back some Old English Game or Red Jungle Fowl or add Modern Game. However I did manage to procure a couple electronic animal repellents solar powered to experiment with… the list of creatures they affect includes predators and more. So I will be doing tests. If it works to keep the dogs and chickens out of areas I might get more to create an electronic barrier to discourage Racoons. 30 foot range, so I will see how they work.
If they work, I at the very minimum can use them to keep critters including chickens out of certain areas. Also I wonder if they might help keep campsites Squirrel free. The manual says they keep bears away too.
Now the breeds still doing fine, EEs, Naked Necks, Phoenix, the black hens, Jersey Giants, Barred Rocks, D’Uccle hen, Rhode Island Reds, Rhode Island Whites, Legbar Cross Olive Egger, Buckeye, Australorp, a few new hens were added to the flock (they needed a home) one might be Polish, a Wyandotte I think, and several breeds we a have.
Unfortunately all our young roosters didn’t make it. Peepers was the only one we had left but he had a heart issue and died. Sigh. But the hens are doing great and enjoying feasts of pumpkins this week.
