    Lost 4 chickens already, I'm not sure what to do!

    I'm working on getting the trap, we're borrowing a large havahart trap. Just got all the stuff for the electric fence materials as well! Thanks for all the help!

    Lost 4 chickens already, I'm not sure what to do!

    Thanks for the reply. We don't have a fence right now, it looks like we're going to be putting one up though. It's very possible it is a coyote. I thought I had seen a fox on the property a few weeks ago, but I was looking at the pictures and it turns out it was a coyote. It was during the...

    Please help my Red!

    My husband and I are fairly new to chicken ownership, we build a large coop in the spring and 12 baby chicks. They are very happy chickens, they are free range (all except two days a week) and we also feed them organic food. Today I let my chickens out to free range and after a while a...
