    One chicken missing and the other three dead, which predator?

    So yesterday we let the chickens (we have 4 and they’re all full grown and pretty big) out of their run to free-range at around 6am (as we’ve been doing for a few months now) All of them were fine, but then a while later we went to check on them (at around 8am) and we found their feathers...

    Missing Chicken

    Well, title pretty much says it all. Things were going so well. I got a second set to fix the chicken math, they all integrated well. And then tonight, I went out to shut the coop door and realized I was missing one - my favorite one. Any chance she'll turn back up?

    Hawk Attack - Debrief/Discussion/Help

    Unfortunately after 4 years we had our first hawk attack. Thankfully only one hen has a minor injury and missing feathers (its been tended to and we think she will make a full recovery), but our very loved rooster is missing. We didn't witness the attack and unfortunately didn't capture it on...

    It's lightly raining and noon when I heard a thud and the hens screaming. I go outside and I see two piles of feathers, some feathers on the barrel (which I assume was the thud sound I heard), and a trail of feathers that stop in the middle of the yard. Just my luck, it starts pouring and I...

    Missing Chickens

    We had 2 dogs massacre half our flock. After we started collecting bodies some chickens came out from hiding. One of our larger cockerels came back with 4 Pullets and a few other cockerels - we were proud of him as we plan on him being our main rooster. 2 more came out of hiding after a few...

    Hen kicked from the flock?

    Hello, I currently have two New Hampshire Reds and two Austrolorpes who have grown up together and are a little over a year old.For the most part three of them would hang out together and another was kind of a loner. She would go with the others but would be found more distant from them. She...

    Fox Attack

    This morning my chickens were attacked by a fox. I was in my office room, which overlooks the coop and where the chickens walk around during the day, when all of a sudden I hear them going crazy only to find that when I looked out the window I saw a fox leaping mid-air after my chickens. I ran...
