    What did it?

    Me neither! There are already a ton of coyotes that make me nervous even though it is highly unlikely they would attack me. The flock is certainly less entertaining, but what can I do. I was thinking of adding more birds, but they are all so healthy otherwise that I don't want to risk it. I...

    What did it?

    You never really know what's out here. We had reports of a black panther a few years ago lol. I've seen Bobcats in nearby areas, so that's a possibility, and one I think would be pretty cool actually. I'd be honored to feed a bobcat.

    What did it?

    Okay, so I lost some chickens. There are no bodies, very little feathers lost, but there was a small trail into my neighbor's overgrown yard. My dog found and killed a 'possum near the trail, but I am still not convinced. There were piles of feathers nearly 100 yards from the coop, and I...

    My chickens just found -- and ate -- a dead bat. Should I be worried?

    If it makes you feel any better, I've seen them eat live mice, frogs, and other things like that. They are hunters/scavengers by nature (at least when it comes to small things). I think there can be issues in more sensitive breeds, but a RIR shouldn't have any issues.

    do my chicks need grit?

    You should be okay. I would not worry.

    My chickens just found -- and ate -- a dead bat. Should I be worried?

    They can digest it, but as far as diseases, I'm not sure. If it has been decomposing for a while, they will probably have some issues. If it recently died, it depends on the cause. If it died from rabies (which 1/20 bats has), chickens do not get rabies so you are okay. Not sure about...

    I figured that much, but what breeds are white and known as egg layers?
