Five out of seven of my chickens were assumingly killed by a predator. One was killed weeks ago, THREE two days ago, and one overnight before I checked this afternoon.
I've got two left, who are probably obviously traumatized.
Apparently the predator got in through some openings that we...
What would leave a chicken mostly untouched with intestine pulled out, and a supposedly unformed egg eaten right beside it? 1 dead (hen) 2 missing (rooster and hen). Roo's feathers are nearby so I suppose he fought the predator to defend the other two hens. No sign of the other hen.

So yesterday my chickens had broken out and after a while of taking care of them, I count and I have ...six.

I currently have eight chickens. here's their name, breed, and personalities
2 black australorp hens named Addison and Eliana. I haven't given time to tell the difference between the two of them as...
Today I was going to feed my chickens when my birchen cochin bantam rooster (named "Stormy") was laying on his side nearly out of my view, next to the wall of the coop. I thought he was dead but when I went to pick him up with a trash bag he was still alive, just seemingly weak. He couldn't...
