I am one sad chicken mamma. Coyotes killed 3 of my 4 hens today. I’ve had them for 1 year. I have an automatic door on the coop and allowed them to free range all day. Now I have the single surviving hen locked in the coop. I’m trying to figure out what to do. Either I get one or two more to keep my survivor company or give away my last one. Any suggestions? If I purchase 2 more, should I get babies or adults? Which would integrate better with the one I have now? She is a gold sex link. Any suggestions on quiet breeds? Part of the reason I let them free range is I realized they were happier/quieter that way. Obviously now, I am real hesitant to ever let them out of the coop, so am thinking maybe a more quiet breed would be better. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
