ill get u some up to date ones tomorrow morning. they got little leg bands on now lol. They just seem so big. lol. and not at all the soft weet bird i expected. i will try to get pics in the am. we are just so past the nice age to take pics of now.
heres 3 pics of the weekd 4 i have atm. they were bought about mar 25th 2022
they seem so much bigger now. looking at my most recent aquisitions i cant believe how quick they grow.
poor thing! Don't know what happened! Something must have grabbed it and taken it over the fence as the fence holes are only tiny. .. Maybe a neighbor's cat? Or something hunting during the day since winter is coming? A bird? What would leave it like play with it and not eat it? 
domestic animals only in my opinion other than a wild animal with many many kills. got a co worker who had to bury 32 chicks in 2 weeks. i was confused how they lost that many birds but i figured they just didnt even try to secure them or upgrade the chicken tractor to protect them,.
I was checking on my chickens this arvo and found Chickaletta had only 5 chicks out of 6 with her! I went looking for the lost chick and it was somehow on the other side of the fence, dead, with stomach bits hanging out!!
Exactly... all my neighbors just let their pets and chickens out with no protection, because nothing has happened... YET. But another neighbor (we're all one home after another, small cul-de-sac) regularly traps skunks, raccoons, and.... something else, can't remember the third. Plus we have lots of hawks. And then there's the cats, and dogs who dig out and escape.
Possums? They are thrifty animals.
I'm so sorry!! It does sound like a cat.. they do that with the wild birds too.. kill for play, but not food. Chickaletta did a good job protecting the rest of her brood!!

No.. it was something else... ugh im going to have to ask the neighbor. Possums will eat eggs, but not a chicken. I'm going to have to google animals..
I hear ya...and I would rather not! I would LUV to keep em all!!! But I don't have room, not supposed to have roos, and I need to try and stick to a goal to help keep me in check.I should say goodbye too to some of my chickens and maybe all (6) of my geese but I cannot make that decision yet
