Sorry to hear you're having some problems. Did you lose birds to a predator or an illness?
 
Hello there, and welcome to Backyard Chickens! I am so glad you joined us, I do hope you will make yourself at home here. Enjoy BYC!
 
Thanks it sucks losing bird's no it's not a illness a predator is on the lose mostly killing my bird's for sport found evidence today all was fresh done overnight I'm thinking mink's are the ones I looked it up and mink's on a full stomach will still kill just for the fun of it
 
It's very difficult to answer your question without more information and, if possible, some photos of your setup. How is your coop constructed? Do you have a run? If there is, do you have a pop door between the coop and run you can close off at night? What kind of fencing/wire did you use? Did you see signs where the predator got in? Do you have any kind of protection against predators digging in to prevent it from happening with a new flock?

Minks aren't the only critters who will keep killing. Dogs will too, as will a few others. We really need more information to help you. Welcome to BYC - I'm just sorry it was under such bad circumstances.
 
I have pictures of my coop set but the site is not letting them load to show it could be my dumb smartphone
 
Thank you everyone I got 7 chicken's left now and one duck the duck is tough got attacked twice and still with us he fought it off twice what ever it is
