Who wants to ramble or even vent!

[Mrs J]

So obvs no political views. But who wants to ramble or vent? I want to.. I left my very new hubby babysitting my chickens while I picked my grandson up, A 9 hour round trip, so I was nervous, but thought no..strict instructions, he can’t mess up! Well he did today my head hen is missing no signs of a predator, Ive searched everywhere, where can she be..I’m hoping I will wake up in the morning and she will be outside waiting…keeping all my fingers and toes crossed

Oh no. Sorry to hear that. Do they free range?

 

[Mrs J]

Only supervised, with me or my dogs watching them. The only reason being is I lost my last lot through suspected MG, so these have been kept in our stables while we get the predator proof run disinfected etc, I am fearing the worst, there was a pile of pigeon feathers next to the babies trampoline

 

[Mrs J]

But I just don’t understand it, she didn’t have the big Pom Pom where she couldn’t see and she was so alert

 

[Crazy Maizie]

Are you sure them feathers were pigeon?

 

[Mrs J]

Good morning. Yes, they were definitely pigeon feathers. I was hoping she was hiding up a tree and would be back this morning, sadly she is not I have searched everywhere again and nothing, no trace of her, not even a pile of feathers.

These are the pigeon feathers.

Hey @DobieLover @sourland @Weeg do you know anything about outside cameras for protecting my flock? Apparently foxes are a creature of habit and have their own patch that they patrol, if I knew when to expect him, I’ll be ready!!

Yes, & I recommend getting a Victure Trail camera. They're abit pricey, but are really good quality, & easy to set up.
