Another one of my Purebred Black Australorps has died last night. Fround it this morning. I called the breeder as I had 3 breeds and only 1 breed has died.
The breeder replaced the 2 chicks with new chicks. Same age and same hatching date. At the moment they are ok with the others. 20180811_161817.jpg

Hi Everyone,
I have 8 Australorp chicks that I purchased at 2 weeks old. They are now 29 days old. I will be posting my journey here. As we just moved to 10 acres and will be letting our chickens free range. And may need advice on the journey ahead.
Hope to hear from you all.
The heart of a mother hen! :)
 
I'm so sorry to hear you are loosing some of your chicks :hitI hope you can work out what is going on. What is their poo like? And sad on the dog getting your big girls too. I get where you are though, I know that I will loose chicks / chickens over time but I feel that free ranging is such a lovely way for them to live that I think it is worth the risks. I recently lost a 5 weeks old chick - just dissapeared - no trace / feathers etc. I think probably a hawk.
