    protectors?

    You need a minimum of 6 for a strong flock. Everything they do is the flock as a whole. The Guinea hens are great. They eat mice and small rat's and chase away the adult rat's. They also will eat small snakes and run the others away. Good Luck

    Hawk

    If you're having trouble with a hawk you can take a few old CDs tie them to a tree or pen and leave it dangle down so it moves around. Let me know if it works for you as it has worked for me.

    I have suggest that you find a few old CDs and hang them around the area of the chickens..Just tie them with a string and let them hang so they can move with the wind. I read this here on this site. I have had a bad problem with wild birds in with my chicken. I did this and it was worked. Good Luck

    A very sick chicken

    About the best you can do is what you're doing. If the one dies make sure you bury her deep so other animals won't dig her up. As to the other's about the only thing to do is watch them closely and if you see them starting to become sick get them on antibiotics. We use erythromycin. Good luck

    My broody hen has diarrhea bad.

    Quit putting the food close to her. This way she will get off the nest to eat and drink and she will also take her poo away from the nest.

    You need to get a baby monitor if you get more and you should be able to hear any ruckus going on inside there when you're sleeping or in the house. They work good.
