    SOS! Cannibalism

    I would like to add that we did catch and dispatch a raccoon in the coop last night. I still can’t figure out where/how it got in.

    SOS! Cannibalism

    For the last couple weeks I keep finding dead chickens in my run. At first I wrote it off as predators but couldn’t find a spot at all for one to get in. Then I heard about chicken cannibalism. I can not seem to figure out why my chickens are killing and eating each other. I KNOW they have...
