I'm pretty new to raising chickens, but have gone all winter and it was cold without losing a bird. My birds need to be out of their pen, just because it is a little too small for as big as they have gotten. I have been letting them free range and the last couple days I have lost a couple birds. What's weird is its happening during the day, we have a dog, but there are no feathers anywhere. It's like the birds have been abducted by aliens. I lost a runner duck today, I was devestated, those guys hang out together and stay pretty much next to the pen. I don't have a lot of cover for the birds and intend to come up with some sort of little huts for them to take cover in. Got some ornamental windchimes to hang out by their pen as well, but I really don't know that it is a hawk. I sure haven't seen one and I would think I would notice it. Anybody have any other ideas? Thanks, love this group, I learn so much!
