Rhonda Dee Palmer's BYC'S on a shoestring farm.

[Rhonda Dee]

We have 3 new baby Bantam chicks. Our second hen to hatch her own babies. We lost 6 to predictors. 4 to coyotes, 1 to a raccoon. 1 to a fox.

Thank you! Been trying to gather information so my chickens have a good ,happy, healthy, home. They are part of my pet family. I had pne brahman rooster died on his perch stretching his leg out. Still womder whet made him die. He had no bites, scabs, or problems that we noticed. He drank, ate, & acted fine. Do you kmow if worms could have killed him? After his death, all the hens in his coop with him have been sneezing every since with no discharge. Do you happen to know any answers to my questions? I would appreciate your thought on these matters. The breed is black & white Brahman's

Welcome!

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out
