Hey there:
I am a newbie to Back yard chickens and one of my chickens got killed by a raccoon tonight.
I am so sad but I am really sad for her pal. I was just integrating the 2 younger chickens(4 months into a flock of 4 - 6 month olds) and they were doing fine now her sleeping buddy is gone and I don't know if I should just continue with the integration ( the older ones pecked at times, but also were getting along fine in my yard). should I get her another friend her age and hope they will become pals or should I just let her make friends with the remaining 4 older ones?
I would love to hear some suggestions from anyone who has had a similar experience,
thanks so much
loving having chickens
