Then Tuesday evening i go out to fill waterer and i come up to a feather massacre all around the far side of the coop and run!!! Possible fox hijacking. At first 7 were missing, found two under deck, 2 more came home at sunset. We lost our beloved BBQ, and spaghetti and salt. We're now down to one rooster.
Today we went to pick up a few more friends, since I've never had true Amerucanas and wanted to try them.

Then I learned that the lone hatching egg had been dropped a few days ago, i go to tap it like someone suggested and boy it stank! So we cracked it open and found a perfectly formed black 16 day baby, with yolk separate from it and blood pooled. Means it's been sitting dead for 6 days now. So pretty upset!!
I'm just frustrated...
here are pics of the ones we lost:
