You can see the feathers that will eventually fill the gap. He is just young and still developing, give him time.

I'm in Arkansas, about 15-20 miles south of Fort Smith. I do have MFLs, but mine aren't laying yet. dlarimer was who I was going to recommend. He is intensively working with them, but he isn't actively selling any. He would probably send you something to work with though.

Sorry for your loss. Around here it would probably be a skunk or racoon. Set a trap, catch it, determine how to keep this from happening again, go get some more chickens and get back in the game.

I really just looked here to see what Ridgerunner's answer was. He does so well explaining things. My advice would have been through her in there and watch what happens. If it gets to rough for her take her out and try something else. If it does get to rough try housing her separate but...

I've never known a racoon to turn down a free meal of anything. Tuna, sardines, and peanut butter have worked the best for me though.

There's a couple of breeders in Arkansas, I can pm you their contact info if you would like.

Kind of need to know what you will be using it for? And does the motor have two wires or three wires?

All above excellent advice.

Nice rooster. Any hens?

I think it is widely accepted, 4 square feet per bird for coop and 10 square feet per bird for run. But, more is better especially when it comes to chickens. Letting them free range during the day certainly will help, but keep in mind there may be days that you won't be able to let them out...

Nice looking coop.

That's a pretty significant difference in ages. They might get along fine, but probably best if you could separate them.

This is nice, may give it a try.

Excellent coop. Wish I had the skills to build something like that.

Very good of you to offer the plans to people that want them.
