I’m only curious why if it were one of those types of animals, why in the world it didn’t take the bird. 😩 I almost would’ve preferred that scenario. I sure hope we made the right call. After she flopped around spastically everywhere, seemingly partially paralyzed, she finally ran into the...

I can’t say something didn’t get in during my short absence, but I’m very perplexed on what it could have been. Our privacy fence is 6 feet tall and there are no holes underneath the entire perimeter. Like I said, we do not live in an area that has wildlife abundant. It’s very populated here...

I will be keeping a very close eye on the dogs. Just in case. 😓 The thought that technically I can’t rule them out makes this even more upsetting.

They have access to outside, so I can’t say they weren’t out there. I can’t really picture them mauling two chickens bigger than them after not having interest in the chickens for six months but not out of the realm of possibilities I suppose. It seems like if it were another predator of some...

Haven’t seen a raccoon or opossum the whole time we’ve lived here (it’s a heavy residential/traffic area). Does anyone make anything out of the lack of visceral wounds but blood coming from the mouth?

Well, we live in a subdivision, on only .80 of an acre, and have a very animal proof privacy fence around our whole yard (we have dogs). I was only gone for twenty minutes, and we have security that catches movement on 3 sides so I don’t think “big” predators are to blame unless they can hop a 6...

Also to add, the CRC has been fine— foraging in the yard as usual, laying eggs per usual, nothing amiss at all. The only thing in hindsight I am questioning is the fact that about 1.5 weeks ago, she had a small Knick on her comb and there was the faintest sign of blood under the feathers on her...

Help! We have our first backyard flock of 9 hens. Our 3 original chicks were purchased in April of this year. They are a Barred Rock, a Buff Brahma, and a Columbia Rock Cross. They have lived peacefully together all of this time. We purchased 4 more pullets in July, and integrated them together...
