Watch those mites they will infest your coop and other birds! Have to be very careful taking adult birds from anyone. I try not to take any unless I give them a thorough exam or know their history. Lice can be a big problem too so watch out!
Probably a fox or a coon. Fox will carry them off and leave no trace. I've seen on this site that skunk will kill them too not haven't seen this myself. Best to fence them in an lock up at night to avoid the predators. Good luck.

Hi I rescued Benny from a unfriendly neighborhood where chickens don't belong And luckily I needed s rooster for my hens. Any idea what breed or cross he might be? Looks like a little Barr , red and leghorn. What do you think?
