    Whole flock gone

    Theres nothing to update really... the birds all died and we did not do any testing. We've had chickens for 3 years. The ages ranged from 3 years to almost a year old. The older girls were from meyers hatchery and tsc, some of the younger ones were chicks we hatched and tractor supply. My...

    Whole flock gone

    Not that i know of. It looks fresh ans smells like fish food... Nope all dead at the same time But I heard the rooster that morning and hears the hens clucking during the day when I went outside. But I don't check on them during the day - there's an automatic opener that let's them in and out...

    Whole flock gone

    No we live on almost 20 acres, with a locked gate. The coop is near the back half. Surrounded by trees and 1 storage building. They definitely weren't spooked. Nothing looked out of the ordinary, no brooms knocked over, not even the feed scoop knocked off of the barrel.

    Whole flock gone

    I do not have room in my freezer and my husband is very much wanting to just dispose of them, deep clean the coop/run and start fresh. He immediately gathered all eggs ans put them in the incubator... I on the other hand want to know what happened.

    Whole flock gone

    No we have not disposed of them yet and considered calling the county animal agent. I will try to get a photo. So if we don't think it was a predator because they weren't scattered, there was no loss of feathers, blood, missing body parts. If it wasn't food toxins- which is what I thought it...

    Whole flock gone

    I don't believe so. How would I be able to identify a weasel attack? Like some predators leave behind the beaks and feet, and some take the heads, and some drag them off to other areas... we used to let them free range a couple years ago but we lost several to what we presumed as a bobcat...

    Whole flock gone

    We are in north Texas. The setup is a small leland shed and the run is a chain link dog run covered with chicken wire and the top is a chicken wire roof. They weren't piled up but they definitely were not scattered. To be honest it looks as if someone went in there lined them up and executed...

    Whole flock gone

    No injuries that we could see. All feathers intact, no blood, and yes the door was open because it was still early evening. We have had hawk attacks in the past so their run is completely enclosed.

    Whole flock gone

    Hello. I am looking to see of anyone might have a clue to our mystery. Yesterday evening we went out to the coop to collect eggs and all 12 hens and our 1 rooster were dead in the coop. None of them in the run. They were all on one side of the coop and it was the strangest thing. No indication...

    Thank you!!! Our rooster looks more like the top one. So it should be interesting how the chicks come out.
