Hi, I'm not sure what got my little hen today. We had one window I found was open... the glass fell out. Was going to staple chicken wire over it today but when I went out to do that found a dead hen. We've had our little guys picked off by 3 hawks that are in the area for a while. But we thought they had stopped because the chickens are about 2x their size now. Haven't had an attack in a really long time. The hen had none of the parts eaten that the hawks seemed to like. I saw one of the roosters trying to mate with another hen today and they were pretty rough... is it possible that the hen died from that? Thanks!
I so sorry to hear that. How old was she? If the hens are not ready to mate they try and run away so I don't think that was it. Is he a lot bigger then the hens?
