Young chicks w/ a broody that completely dissapear are more likely raptor or ferral cat prey.

Aww, sad. The same thing happened to me today with my only NN chick. I think she got to far away from mama and the rest of the flock killed her. Lucky my feed store had some more so I got another one and will be keeping the mama and babies in a run for the time being until they are much bigger.

One of my beautiful naked neck and my newest little chick, the mum is a silver grey Dorking it's dad is a barred Naked Neck, something got in and took the other eggs but mum wasn't going to let anything take this little baby, mums doing a wonderful job looking after it
Sorry to hear about you losing your little chicks, I have lost some before and it is distressing, I think a hawk took mine so we put netting on the top of the cage, fingers crossed that this one survives, I put some more NN eggs under a broody hen yesterday so I hope to have some more soon.

Around my place not only is there hawks and cats but also rats snakes and toads and opossums and raccoons and ants and even mosquitos all posing a threat to chicks at one point or another so when we get a important batch we lock them up in a large enclosure till the chicks are well feathered about 4-8 weeks depending on the type
Of chicks and season then we let them free range and have experienced less losses this way some I the enclosures are dirt bottom so it is almost like free ranging at times as they get to dirt bath for the others I put a long planter side ways or a bottom of a planter with dry dirt for them to be able to play and bathe in as always daily usually more we change the water very important and always add feed.

What do you mean?

 

[AutumnWinds]

I think he is asking if anyone is going to that show or would like to meet up at that show, he is wanting to buy some NNs. And wanting to make arrangements before the show.

 

[Easter eggers]

Oh ok I thought he wanted to sell chicks. Well it is day 22and no pips in my eggs they are just wiggling do you think they have a chance?
