the other day my neighbor let me know a fox had just grabbed one of his many girls! he has a huge run, electrified fencing (apparently wasn't on) it happened midday! I was under the delusion that they're pretty safe during the day! very sad, I haven't let my girls out to free range since.
hi, I'm a new chicken person, acquired 4 road island reds about 2 months ago.... certainly didn't expect to sink 500. plus dollars into a coop and run but, the Sisters are happy and healthy and have started laying eggs!
