i Just went to check on my chickens and two of them are dead. I’m not really sure how or what happened. They were fine last night but I didn’t check on them this morning like I usually do. They had plenty water but the food had run out sometime between last night and this morning. We have some bigger birds that hang around I think they’re buzzards and a while ago I was concerned that they might mess with the chickens but I haven’t noticed them near the coop. It’s been really hot but they had enough shade and I actually found them under the nesting boxes in the coop. They were close to the netting so maybe something got close enough to kill them? Does anyone have any ideas? They were just 14 weeks old.
