    Chicken Suddenly Died Right In Front Of Me

    It was the weirdest thing. My chickens were where they weren't suppose to be, in my backyard. They keep escaping the fenced area for them that's just past my backyard. So, I went out there with food and had them follow me back to put them in the fenced area. My black chicken happily followed me...

    What can kill a Pekin but choose to kill a small mallard?

    I've been trying to deal with a predator problem for my ducks and their pen. After the first attack, we thought we corrected the problem until we lost another. And another again today...it is quite upsetting and I feel sick with guilty. I've thought several times now that I fixed all weaknesses...
