so, I was driving you all crazy posting about gender questions and what to with all the Roos I ended up with. I’m new at this and had a total of 12 chicks, some older than the others.
They were all doing well, but 6 of them started crowing at about 5 to 8 weeks. I actually found a home for all 6 Roos.
I went out to check on the rest the next morning and the were all dead..slaughtered!. No cat did this..they had been eaten. Feathers and empty carcasses everywhere
That night I saw 2 huge raccoons sitting on my deck laughing at me.
After spending a day moaning and grieving I decided I am not done. I am trying again. Bought 6 more day old chicks that are in my sewing room while I fix where they got in. After a really bad rain storm, part of the coop roof gave in. The hole had been made larger.
I actually saved the little roos’ lives by giving them away. I feel so bad,
Rebuilding taking place..
