We've had two Buff Orpingtons since they were a week old. I built them a beautiful, predator-resistant pen. However, we would let them roam the yard during the day. Unfortunately, the other day, after three plus years, a coyote came in broad daylight and took one. We saw it on playback on security video. Horrific. And the remaining chicken was, naturally, freaked out. Now, our concern is getting her a healthy mate before she sinks into irreparable depression. If you have a healthy chicken in SoCal that you are willing to part with for this cause (donate or sell), my family would be most grateful. We are in a Studio City. Thank you.
