I doubt this. Lots of bigger chickens are not flighty and an easy prey.The reason we didn't get small chickens is they're vulnerable and need more protection
Yes game chickens are flighty and excellent at avoiding predators however we chose leghorns because they're bigger and their chicks aren't as likely to be killed by crows, big snakes, feral cats and aerial predators that can carry them away.I doubt this. Lots of bigger chickens are not flighty and an easy prey.
I have one of the most tiny bantams (Dutch) and when they see a dog when they are free ranging these Dutch fly upon the run (2m) and over a 2,5 meter high hedge. No way the dog is able to catch them
But I had a few losses too. One time a bird of prey took a bantam mix and a few others disappeared (one bantan RIR and two young pullets). Possibly they have been taken by a big nasty cat. The cats from our neighbours don’t hunt or hurt our chickens.
Bob cats
Lucky us!The majority of the world's bobcats are found in the United States, but they range from Mexico to southern Canada.
Smurk lives in Australia.
