I have had my share of preditor problems from time to time like anyone else. But this puts a new twist on predation.
About a month ago, my son went to collect eggs. We had expected 60 odd eggs. Not even 1 was to be found. This went on for some two weeks or so. FF to 4 days ago, we found a single dead hen. next day 2 dead. Third day 0. Okay maybe the demon has fled. Nope! (Keep in mind, still no eggs) Day 4...........My Rooster was chasing one of the hens, I saw him kills her almost as fast as a hawk could. I was too far away to stop it. This I never saw comming. Anyone else ever had this happen? All of the other Roos are kind to the girls. The girls are begining to lay again, but it's taken some time. I would like to know if anyone else has ever had this happen. You know, revenge IS sweet. (with dumplins)
