    What is it?

    I have lost 2 chickens over the past 3 weeks to a predator. The chickens are mostly eaten inside the pen. Legs and wings intact head intact but all the meat is eaten along with organs. What could it be?

    Question: Can the Sav-a-chick electrolytes be mixed with the Corid solution? he doesn’t seem to be drinking the treatment like he did the electrolytes. I was worried he may not be getting enough to drink

    Thank you so much. I have attached a pic I just took that is better, I hope. But his behavior is what tipped me off. He was just sitting around and would walk a little then sit. He is drinking much better since the electrolyte solution. That seem to have helped as well

Still not sure what one of the Rhode Island reds will be. I got black sex linked pullets, Rhode Island Red pullets, gold laced Wyandotte pullets and 3...

    You guys are awesome! Thank you all so much. Not too upset about 2 males. I will have 28 hens with the new batch of chicks this year, so I think 2 roosters should be ok. What do y’all think?

    Black Cochin?

    They came from Tractor Supply from Hoover’s Hatchery. I have some barred rock pullets and these guys are A LOT bigger. They are only 5 weeks old and are twice the size of the Wyandotte chicks I got at the same time
