My floc of 6 doing well (as couple of Hen recovering from Molting stage). I lost one of my favorite Chocolate Cuckoo hen who just started to lay. I was pretty bummed about it, but that's life in the harsh world. "Chicken gotta scratch, Hawk's gotta eat". Oh well. I am really hopping that my other Chocolate Cuckoo doesn't become a Hawk Bait. I would love to see Nigel and her offspring maybe next Spring. I let them free range which has its downside.
I forgot to mention, I lost my other Chocolate Hen to most likely a Hawk. After that, my flock was attacked by a Coyote in the broad day light. Fortunately, all chicken were safe after the attack.
