My flock is gone......

[coop-er]

I am not sure what, must be a fox or a bobcat, cause I am losing them in broad day light. We have had so much rain, the vegetation is thick, so I don't think it can be hawks. But I have lost way too many this summer. I got spoiled having a wonderful roo. I live in tough predator-rich country, and losses were common until I got a roo. Once he turned a year old I did not have a single loss for more than a year!!!!
Thanks for the hope! I was wondering if having a rooster was as beneficial as I had heard- I did not get a chance to find out, as both my roosters were killed before 6 months. I will rebuild my flock and find a great protector and wish you luck in the same! Bobcats?? In what part of the country are you?

I have 4 rooster chicks, and 3 hen chicks left, hoping desperately that one of those roo's turn out to be a good one. I think I lost two more hens tonight. WE are in code red strict lock down. It sucks, because this is the best time for chicken to free range nutritionly speaking.
