    "Something" Killing my Free Range Chickens - Fox or Coyote -- still undecided

    On Friday afternoon, at 3:00 pm, my chickens sounded the alarm for the first time. We have had free range chickens before, as well as ducks, with no issues.

    New to BYC and Chickens and one is sad or depressed :-(

    Hi All -- just joined BYC today as we just brought home our ladies on Wednesday of last week -- 6 layers and 7 one-month-old chicks. At first they all seemed to be adjusting fine. All of the birds came from the same breeder and are familiar with each other. Recently, one of the chickens, a...
