Have a week old mixed heritage poult. Since it hatched it seemed different. A little slower to follow momma, easier to catch. Yesterday I went looking for them since I hadn't seen them in 24 hours (momma sleeps in a different spot every night) This little one was off about 10 feet from the rest...

I have a Royal Palm poult about 1 1/2 months old. They are basically free range with momma bringing them into the chicken coop at night. A few days ago a black snake got in and killed 3 poults eating one of them. Momma must have fought it some as she has some messed up neck feathers. My problem...

I have a silkie pullet about 4 months of age. Sunday my chickens started screaming and when I went out I saw a hawk fly off. It was a smaller bird and I didn't see if it had grabbed someone. But I couldn't find my blue pullet Smokey. I assumed I had lost her but several hours later while sitting...
