Its been over a year since i have had chicks and today I went got 4. After bringing them home and getting them settled I notised one was very sleepy. she mostly sleeps and ever falls over sleeping. I have seen her drink a bit and she ate out of my hand when i got her home. Is there a chance I...
So today I went down to a little, kind of farmers market like place and got 4 little chicks. I was told 2 were black giants, which seems right, and then was told the other were Americanas. When I got home and got them settled we noticed the lighter one has feathery feet. Did they get my chicks...
This is Delilah... this was taken later last summer, she didnt get to much bigger then that. She was attacked outside of my bedroom window and dragged out threw the feild and into the woods. We fallowed feather trails and my step dad even found her body but in the very short time it took for him...
Wow lots of posts haha. At work for a few hours and already on another page.
Starting off with the dog thing, we have 3 dogs here but it would be way way to traumatizing for any of them to be left out at night, that and I wouldn't dare risk something happening to them at night. I know we have...
I figured locking them in the coop till later morning would be safer, the cat seems to attack before its fully light out and it never came around when we were awake and making noises in the house. Its also targeting the tetra tints because they are a little more adventurous and dont always stay...
It took one of my golden comets, 1 bantam buff chochin and now 4 tractor supply tetra tints. There a little over a year old.
It seems like its attacked them and as they try to get a way they fight and feathers get lost in the struggle/it trying to re-grab them.
We have been locking them up and staying up till midnight every night then taking an hour nap and hunting from day break till about 10. I even have a trap set up, so we are trying. The cat waited till I let them out and when i went inside to get ready for work he killed her.
There run got destroyed this winter, collapsed from the weight of the snow so they get locked up at night and free range in the day time. The attacked didn't start happening till just about 2 weeks ago, so they were free ranging just fine for a few months. We havnt been able to build a new coop...
Another one, snatched right outside my window. I could hear her scream and I ran as fast as I could outside and it was already to late. Nothing but a few feather piles...
I"m sorry Delilah. You were the first chicken of mine to lay an egg, and although you were mouthy and always yelled at me you...
