This guy is 3.5 months old. I thought a fox or something had gotten him, he was missing for 8 days and in that time we had sold the rest of our other 24 chickens. We were then cleaning out some old picket fence that was standing alongside the barn. Well there he was very weak but alive, he...

Thanks for the input. I have decided rather than give up on having chickens we are going to build a predator proof pen of some sort. Leaning towards welded wire at this point but don't have all the design in place yet. We had considered raccoons until we saw the tracks but we have lived here...
