    Can Size of Chickens deter predators?

    I've raised bantams ....which were annihilated by predators,I've started raising Brahmas ...by their incredible size seems to deter predators ....does size matter?

    Fox problem

    I DON'T judge anyone,a fox isn't human and does not have human intelligence or think like a human.....it's humans that "assume" the fox possesses "human traits"...they may watch and learn just like domestic dogs but you're giving them abilities they don't possess.

    Fox problem

    I don't particularly care if I'm liked or hated,I'm not going to kill a wild animal that's "doing what it's meant to do"...I don't won't to lose my "show birds" but I live in the sticks...I was taught to love every animal,wild or domestic,I'll protect my birds but I won't murder a wild animal...

    Fox problem

    I can't support your "killing any wild animal " ...you're saving your flock but why put your flock in "harms way" in the first place,I keep my expensive show birds in a huge coop and a huge ,covered run,two just happened to run out one day...it was human error,I I would never kill the fox or...

    Fox problem

    I'm probably going to get a lot of negative comments from this...,I raise and show Brahma chickens,I've lost a few to predators,I will not kill a wild animal because it's "doing what it's meant to do"....I don't want my chickens to die but I refuse to annihilate an animal that is instinctual...

    The incubator is not good...I understand you love your daughter but you're bringing a "new life into the world" ...the baby chick or chicks are not "toys" They need a brooder,fresh chick food,fresh water every day...baby chicks need a 250 watt red heat lamp for 4 months!! Baby chicks need...

    This is an unhealthy bator to hatch baby chicks!! It needs to hold 99.5 constant daily temp and "I use dry humidity...20-30% for 18 days and increase it to 65-70% during lockdown.

    I had a Chinese made bator...they're garbage, you may get one or two to hatch but that's all.....it's just trash,invest in a good bator.
