Leiper pullet managed 2 chicks out of 6 eggs. Didn't think she was gonna hatch any. Disregard this mess too. Flipped all the bowls too.

wouldnt doubt it. Lol. Between the dogs, coyotes, hawks I have lost dozens this year. 

Tons of hawks this year . Mocking birds chasing them around off the property but they managed to grab about 4-6 since the beginning of the breeding season.

Knock on wood but I have only seen a few red tails every now and then. Some years are worse than others though.

Ha yeah right. Every morning might as well put out a fresh gut pile and blow on a predator call then turn the chicks loose. Only the strong survive

To show how bad the predators are around here the siblings to my gifted chicks were first let out to free range next morning all but 7 dead or missing. So that leaves 19 left total. I don't know how many died but it was a good bit. I know shubin prolly thinks of me more of a warden than a keeper but that's why

Were they left out at night too? I let mine out during the day but pen them back up (which is a project) at night

I cant say anything, your survivor rate is much higher than I am doing...

And our situations are different, I have a fenced property with dogs running it, so I have protection from most critters. And I'm surrounded by other homes on 3 sides in a suburban setting. You are open to dense wilderness area. I've been to Lousiana, the wildlife has got to be 10x compared to my meager desert.

I put all my motherless chicks in the shed at night. In the morning I blow the predator call and turn them loose for the day.
