Thank you for all the replies, the kid with the business is also quitting chickens do to the rising feed costs taking alot of the profits out of it. I live in an area where animals are valued well, most people would mean well when getting them but they don't all know what they are doing. I think I'm going to try facebook marketplace to sell the whole flock sometime this week or next week for a fair price. I got home at 9 today from work and all the chickens were penned up in the barn so I assumed whoever put them away had counted. 30 minutes later I went out to collect eggs and it was completely dark out. I counted and one was missing I have a broody that likes to make nests all around after she jumps my fence the first time she was gone for 5 days before she came back to get feed. The second time a found her within 5 minutes of looking in a place that they have layed eggs previously. Looked for an hour tonight and couldn't find anything. I have raccoons on trail camera and have had a fox on trail cam 2 months ago. I hope she makes it. These are the stresses I can't deal with right now.
