man, that sucks! I am so sorry for your loss!No, I lost the chipmunk striped Delaware in the first attack.
Yesterday I lost 2 more -- including my only remaining Brahma.
I moved them to the integration pen in the coop for their safety and am going to go over the brooder with a fine-toothed comb to find the place the snake is getting in.
Then the four TSC minimum when he was lonely. Followed by Tractor SURPRISE and then I wanted actual Wyandottes. Only keep one of each colour I told myself! Still have all the chicks almost a year later lol
Nearly ran this lil bean over and spent almost two hours looking for his family, waiting for animal control, etc. Just not risking it with avian flu being at that exact location in the wild ducks and everyone is almost off the brooder plates anyway
Keeping a running tally of each breed has been easiest, but I’ve let it slip after we lost so many babies and it was upsetting. 18 laying pullets, I know that much!
You must have a lovely egg basket!Let’s see if I can get a tally after selling ten cockerels tonight
