Okay. I went to one of my coops where I have 10 five week old chicks and found one lying dead when I unlocked and opend the door. This chick had been attacked from it's vent. It's entire cavity was consumed. No other signs of a bite anywhere on it's body.
What would you believe did this? rat...
These Murray McMurray Hatchery chicks experience their first minutes of being outdoors. You may think that this is a great number of chicks for a coop, and that is right. They will be separated into their own coops as they mature.
I have a heat lamp in the hutch and it is 81 degrees outside now...
