If Aphrodite turns out to be Ares (a boy) and you decide to rehome him. Please let me know. He/She is awesome looking!

Aphrodite is going to be the 1st reverse Lipizzan chicken ever! Born white, turns black as it gets older!

Because Aphrodite is awesome :) Can we see an updated photo of her?

My last 2 laying hens were killed last night. Same as the others....

No I looked everywhere and can't find any sign of them. It has me thinking this was a flying predator. That and the fact that my 3 largest hens were left headless, as if they were too heavy to carry off. But of course, I can't think of any predator that could eat that much. And as far as I...

Yes, but just two of the wyandotte pullets would have easily been enough food for a coyote plus a coyote would have carried off the adult bodies

I had 1 adult speckled Sussex rooster, 1 adult speckled Sussex hen, 1 adult sapphire gem hen, 1 adult buff orpington, 1 adult sapphire gem / speckled Sussex cross, 1 adult orpington / Sussex cross, and 6 nearly fully grown wyadottes bullets. They free ranged in my yard and get put up at night...

It's embarrassing that I know this, but that is the name of the animal that looks a lot like that off of Harry Potter. It just popped into my head when I saw it.
