Dang it! We had a good run this year and only lost one layer this spring.... But this evening 6 (SIX) got killed around 7:00 PM. Bold predator right in the backyard.
Lost one layer, 4 pullets, and one roster. Dang!!!
9 left.
We found one body, neck kill but really clean, nothing...
Great thread!
1. Just do it. We didn't know squat when we picked up chicks this spring. So far we have done pretty well, lost a few, got a few more, and have really enjoyed the experience. Pretty much an impulse decision!
2. The first egg is priceless!!!
3. You cannot handle them...
