I have some terrible news...

A coyote helped itself to all 3 chooks in my silkie pen and both of my Phoenix. I'm absolutely devastated.

My layer flocks is fine thankfully.

This is awful! I am so sorry.

That's terrible CCCL.

When I get my own place I am hoping for 1 or 2 more. I love my chickens but cats were always my 1st love.

We need to work on that.

Yes he is.

I've warned the neighbors so they can keep an eye on their small animals.

Can you trap there?

I'm really sad to read this. What a horrible thing to happen.

She is just so cute!

I am very biased when it comes to Olivia. I think she is the chicken of all chickens ~ just wonderful all round. She's pretty, she's friendly, she lays reasonably well, she holds her own in the tribe & is doing everything she should as a broody. I couldn't ask for more.

These threads are easy to lose when you're in a different time zone. A lot of the posts go up when you're busy sleeping.

I don’t blame you, and I wouldn’t either after your experiences with them. They are beautiful, but beauty isn’t all that matters. I personally look for hearty chickens for myself.
There is a genetic flaw here, I think.

Yes. My BRs have done really well. The Campines have been not too bad, the Aracaunas so~so ~ all the bantams superb! My Wyandotte frizzles look like being pretty hardy too but the Vorwerks, Australorps & FX not so good. Not sure why the Australorps didn't do well but with the Vorwerks I think the gene pool is just too small to breed consistently healthy birds.
