This summer I started out with a generational flock, three 2 year old birds, 17 one year olds and some farm store special babies. I experienced some MASSIVE pedation issues this year - when I lost the first 4 birds I purchased some more babies, but then we we're hit by either a family of foxes...
Two days ago we lost several chicks to a raccoon. We've patched up the problem and I was sent to L&M to purchase "replacements".
They were very busy and a little granny needed help and I was in a HURRY. I love chickens - don't much care what kind. At this age they are all adorable anyways...
