Mixed flock: large fowl, seramas, and one female duck free to good home(s) Baldwin MI

Need to rehome my entire flock of chickens and one lonely female rouen duck. Free to GOOD HOME ONLY - please good pet home only, not for stew pot.

Every summer it seems it is the same story; a bobcat picks off my flock one at a time. It is just not in the cards right now to build a run, and my husband and I are planning on going to AZ for a few months this winter, so we were most likely going to have to rehome them all in a few months anyway. Now that bobcat is back, I'd like to try to rehome them now before he gets them all. He got my male duck this morning, a speckled marans hen yesterday, and has gotten several seramas in the past couple weeks as well.

Going from memory, but I currently have:

2 Isa Brown hens (approx 2 years old)
1 speckled maran hen (1 yr old)
4 wheaten/blue wheaten ameraucanas (1 yr old)

3 Malaysian Serama hens (2-1 yr old, 1 around 5 months old)
3? Malaysian Serama roosters (1 yr old)
6 - serama chicks, hatched out by mom around 2-3 weeks ago.

1 - female rouen duck. (1 yr old) Very lonely now that her mate was just killed earlier today

Can get pics later if interested. Located in Baldwin, MI. All healthy.

Darn, if we weren't 400 miles apart I would be all over this.

I'm very sorry about the bobcat. It sounds like a chicken horror movie to have one be picked off each day!

Darn is right! This is the 3rd summer in a row that a bobcat is terrorizing us. They are protected so legally we aren't allowed to do anything to them...although if my husband gets one in his sights I think it is time to SSS. We are both so sad that he got the duck this morning - we loved that duck

Are they all laying? Sorry about your duck. We lost ours one at a time to racoons

All have found new homes. Thank you.

I do not think protection laws apply when protecting your wildlife and most states bobcats are not protected they are varmits. I hate to see you left, you have some good post. If nothing else trap the beast.
