Hello everyone,
So yesterday morning I had three, Last night I had two. My babies are about 6 months old. Hefty little IBC Browns. We looked everywhere, and its now morning and she is still gone. There is no blood, no feathers, no chicken.
The dinamic of the flock was Hen #1 and Hen #2 never left each others side, while hen #3 ran around and did bird stuff. Now Hen #1 and Hen #3 are acting like 1-2. Is this a behavior of we already know your dead?
If she is killed, then she was taken by a hawk or a wild dog, if not do you think she would have ventured half a mile to go meet up with a rooster? I've seen them head that way before but never actually go farther then the shed.
The girls free ranged on our 10 acre property from morning to night. However, they always kept to the trees and or the front yard near the house. Its hard for me to believe a hawk would have enough speed or abilities to take down something that fast without hitting something.
What do you suggest me to do for letting them run around? They are used to 10 acres to run around all day, not a tiny chicken coop with a tiny run.
War.
