What a sad day, yesterday. Everyone is fine when I feed them in the a.m. Then I go out to let the hens free range and I see somehow one of my banty babies got in with the grown bantie and was killed by the hen. Then that evening I go out to evening feed and see the turkey killed the quail that had just begun laying eggs. Now the turkey is living alone (going to make a home for the surviving quail this weekend) and I made sure no gaps between baby banties and grown banty. And here I was just celebrating no problems my first year of back yard chickens.
