This morning I went out to check on them and found the remaining 4 together. I was able catch one last night and put it into the pen. The other three came back and they are walking around the pen trying to spring their buddy! I am adding some more info here on the deaths to help determine what...

Well I completed the butchering on the birds and was very careful in skinning and looking at the organs. The crops were full with about a 1.5 -2.0 round ball of grains, grasses and small pebbles. Also contained some fluid. The intestines showed no bulging and the gizzards were full of the same...

Yea....I thought about the poisons and liquids but no other chickens or other animals have shown any signs or symptoms of sickness. I don't have any poisons on the property and no free standing liquids that could have held anything poison like antifreeze. I have two 5 gallon waters for all the...

Bruising can only come when the bird has blood in the system. It must have something to do with handling. Once they are bled out there is no way you can get that to happen. Remember the bruise is from an impact that causes the small capillaries in the breast to break open and spill the blood...

We have had success in putting fake Hawks on the barn and wood posts. The chickens get use to it and the other hawks see them and continue on there way. 2 cents

Quote: i know what the first 2 pics are but what about the rest.do you think they are a fox? HOLY COW! I think you won the award for subject matter and string length!!!! Did you ever determine what type of cat it was? Has it shown up again? I have posted on this issue a couple of times...
