    Maine flock gone

    We live in Poland and still don't know what got the birds. We set up humane traps with food but never caught anything. (Food always got taken) -a little "sketchy".

    UPDATE: My 9 week old barred rock is looking kind of "muffy". From my reading this is not normal for a barred rock. So can this be a cross with the Ameraucana? Her name is sweet pea. I do assume that she is a hen.

    Maine flock gone

    It was early morning. They were let out of the coop where they stay at night. They free roam during the day. My husband heard this commotion but didn't see anything.

    I am so sorry for your loss. How dissappointing to lose them especially after relocating. I feel incredibly sad but most don't understand. "They're just chickens" To me they are precious.

    6 out of 10 gone. Unless you love chickens, others just don't understand. I am so sad. Piles of feathers but 6 birds not found. Our EE and our suspected Marans. Such beautiful birds gone. The live trap's empty but bait is also gone. Fischer cat? Raccoon? Such sadness.

    That's great! I did wonder about the yellow legs. Are we agreed that he is a rooster? He is beautiful regardless!

    UPDATE: Single comb 6 weeks old. I think is a rooster. But still wonder what type. Could he be a light sussex mix? The feathers around the neck are now looking buff.

    UPDATE:She is looking more like a Black Copper Marans. It will be interesting to see what her eggs will look like.

    UPDATE: The sweet farmer told me that this chicken has cochin and Ameracauna. Note the changed leg color. Does that make her/him an Easter Egger?
