@ChickenCanoe I believe a raccon ripped through their flight pen netting. Something bigg than a cat but smaller than a coyote, all it left was a piece of crap, literally.
It's been a pretty interesting day today. I went out to check on everybody, and may 30 week old chukars were all dead, and I looked in a chicken nesting box and found a hen not wanting to get out of it. I went to get all the eggs I had been saving to either try to get a hen to go broody, or...
