Lost my Whole Flock (UPDATE)

I know how you feel

A fox killed two of my hens-- my 2 favorites. I had heard something, a squawk, but assumed it was probably one of them laid an egg. Went outside, and found it dragging one away, one decapitated, one half-dead in the nesting box. It's horrible, because I feel responsible.

Sorry for your loss again.
Oh my gosh...that must have been a horrible sight. I definitely feel the pain. It's so hard not to feel responsible and helpless, but, it is nature at work. It's something I'm struggling with here on the Farm. Nature..good and bad..go figure! I'm driving myself crazy running outside every time I hear an 'abnormal' sound from the coop!!!
 
I still miss my barred rocks. When I get these guys raised up I want more. I have to say I'm really surprised how independent minded and sassy these new babies are. They fly better at a few days old than most full grown chickens.. one flew off my lap while I had them on the couch and landed on the other side of the living room! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it.
 
Sorry for the loss of your chickens. The new ones sure are cute-I wish you much success w/them. Have you thought about building a "tractor' for free-ranging?
