Chicken loss

Predation is sadly a very real part of chicken keeping. I'm sorry you lost your chick. In addition to learning how to secure your coop/run, I would seriously consider trying to get at least two more chicks for her, if not 3-4 (and of course ensure you have enough space to accommodate them all. That way if/when one is lost for whatever reason, the remaining flock members still have each other. ❤️ Best of luck
 
Welcome to Backyard Chickens. This is a great place to hang out and explore.
Hardware cloth 1/4 inch is best to use. with latch locks.
Actually it is not, the 1/2 inch is much stronger, the 1/4 inch is flimsy, I just yesterday realized mine is 1/2 I thought it was 1/4
 
Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow

I am so sorry for your loss, :hugs predators are brutal. If you can't make this remaining chick a house chicken, you will need to find her a friend, chickens are very flock oriented and need companionship. Are there any feed stores nearby that sell chicks? Take good care of the survivor.
