RIP Ryder (2022) & Hammy (2019)
We think it was due to the fact that it was familiar young chicks getting their heads cut off and my dog taking off with them. These chicks had been living near them within eyesight of my flock for a couple of weeks.If they saw or heard that I am sure it traumatized them. My chickens seem to always remember stuff too.
Because at the end of March we got an old rooster from someone to teach my nephews how to process a chicken and they (my flock) saw the whole process but never stopped laying. But they had never seen the rooster before in their life.
So yes, no more culling in front of my chickens.
edited because my wording sounded weird in the first sentence
