Sure would be nice if there was a way to keep our flocks safe while they were free ranging all day. My poor birds only get to do it in the evening under my supervision. The rooster helps too.
I'm too close to a woods to do it anymore. That's how the cat got the first two. I was out there with them when there was a ruckus in the woods & my birds come squacking & running back to the coop. Wasn't until I went to shut them down for the night that I realized a bird was gone. Found feathers all over the next morning. Waited a couple weeks let them out to free range again & the same thing happened again. No more free ranging

Only been letting the 15 cockeriels and roosters free range since the attacks. Husband says we cant afford feed for 41 chockens but I bet he will enjoy roast chicken, chicken pot pie and chicken & dumplings after i dress the 10 cockeriels next month. They will be 5 months old so maybe wont have grannys problem with the glands.
 
dont silkies all lay just every other day? I think polish are like that too.
My van is fixed !

I don't think it was from the glands, I find regular chickens to be more gamey tasting then the meat birds. I make soup out of mine, but I can still taste the difference. I try really hard to rehome cockerels now.
