Sounds like a nice lemonade to sip while you assess and improve your predator protectionHmmm, this pretty much means a do over. Different times in the last several years, I have thought I would like this breed or that... but really I like a flock of different chickens. Think I might just go to Sandhills and see if I can get a mix. If I get them now, they would be coming into lay in January. Going to be a long fall of store bought eggs. I am blessed that this is not an impossibility for me. Get them ordered, get the coop/run cleaned up and made tight.
Dang discouraging, but not impossible.
