Than;s everyone for your thoughts and input! Just wish there were some tracks so I had an idea what I was dealing with. My brother inlaw is bringing his trail cam over and setting it up to see if it comes back. In the mean time, the remaining chicks have been moved and traps have been set.
My daughter went out to a sad sight this morning...about 10 of her bantam chickens were gone!! There were feathers everywhere, no blood and no chickens!! She found one lone survivor! This pen of chickens were inside a shed that is under construction...figured what ever it was wiggled inside one...
Okay....we got these chicks a few weeks ago and were told they were Black Minorcas and all hatched on Feb 23. My question is why are some of them feathering in totally different? We have 6 of them 3 feathering out beautifully and 3 well... not so... ???
I believe these are 2 cockerels --- but...
Thanks everyone for your great input. I have contacted Foley's waterfowl and she is checking what she has and is going to get back with me. I will also check out the call association to see what I can find in Michigan. THANKS AGAIN!
My daughter wants to raise & show call ducks. Can anyone recommend the best choice or a breeder that we can get them from? Any input would be great. THANKS!
Thanks so much Hollywood~I did some research on them & was kinda thinking that was what they were, but I needed an expert opinion! LOL I'm learning a little more every day! Thanks again for the quick response!

I shouldn't say I am completely new to chickens -- I had chickens growing up, but don't remember much about them except gathering eggs and feeding.
The reason I have chickens again is because my 8 year old daughter has decided that she wants to raise and show chickens in 4-H. She watched her...
