Post Pics Of Orps/ Orpingtons HERE

Oh, Johnn, I am so sorry. Is there no way you can get them in a secure run?
no :(, well not anytime soon, the 3rd hen was killed yesterday exactly one week after the first 2 which i thaught was odd, so tuesday coming, i think my uncle is going to sit up with a gun. I was on edge today, i sat a watched them for ages!!, and thanks to what ever is getting them i will have to buy some new layers next year because the ones killed were my best layers, but it isn't really about the money, well actually it isn't at all. All the hens are my pet and i dont appreciate something killing my pets. If for some reason my uncle can't go up on tuesday (im not that sure if hes free but he offered to go up) and another hen is killed i will know it comes every tuesday , so i will sit there all day!
 
I am happy to report that my 31 week old Buff Orp pullets have become 'hens'. They've begun laying. Woohoo! They are the teeniest most adorable looking eggs. They were so cute- we find one usually under the pear tree (their favorite hang out). Well today I found not one, but two eggs. The second was in the coop- not in a nst box and two hennies were looking at and clucking at each other. I picked it up and it was still steaming bwahaha! They looked so puzzled by the whole thing. I've waited so patiently! lol

Oh John, Im so sorry..i was so attached to that hen too, always looked forward to her pics..i feel so bad....that baby must be lost without mom nearby like she was.. you need to stoat proof everyting or you will loose them all
Had 3 hens killed in one week, 2 missing but they will be dead and 1 that i found dead, i have been quite worried because i don't know what it is killing them, one of the hens missing was the little orps birth mother!:
