Here is my BCM cockerals (at least I believe they are both cockerals) They are 7 weeks old will be 8 weeks this Tuesday. These are pics I just took like 10min ago. (they were not to happy about being woke up) I like the looks of the 2nd one the best but his legs have no feathers. The 1st 3 pics are of the 1st chicken and the last 3 are of the 2nd chicken. Like I said I am not 100% the 1st one is a cockeral but these 2 are the best filled out among the 5 I have so I am assuming hehe. Anyway, opinions?

Glad you got them, I feel the same way about coyotes.

Have the coyotes ever gotten any of your birds?

Yes, unfortunately. I was working on building the coop and keeping my only hen in a dog crate. It was one of the welded wire ones and I didn't think anything could get in it. But they flipped her crate over and killed her. It was my own fault I should have kept her in the garage at night.

That sucks

Yeah, but it was a few years ago when I first got chickens. Do you have coyotes too or just raccoons? Theirs alot of hawks where I live for whatever reason.

I have a lot of racoons and Hawks/Vulters and a few opossum but I don't think any coyotes

Is this his actual picture? Or what he'll look like when you get him?
