Well the worst case scenario played out this morning. Something got to the flock and kill 4/5 hens. No idea what did it but we now have one polish who made it unscathed but definitely shocked. She’s warm in the dark basement right now. It’s 20 deg F now with December coming in strong.
We can’t raise chicks in the winter time right? We’re considering getting a batch of chicks come spring but I’m curious how to handle this one polish. They’re social animals and I would feel terrible just leaving her alone for the next 8 months.
But my options are she goes to a new family with chickens or she’s alone for a while.
