Wow, it seems like lots of chickens are lost to predation. From the ground, from the air, at night and during the day. These guys have it pretty bad I guess. I bought 5 thinking they would probably be ok to free range along with 16 guineas. I guess I can count on a few of them being lost. I will...
I'm new to this and just trying to get a feel for things. I know from other posts that hawks will hunt the chickens and guineas. I was wondering if owls did the same at night? Also, what are the roosters limitations with protecting the chickens from predators?
