Now that you've gotten rid of the cat that might have been killing your stock you might have the same kind of luck you had to begin with, which is very, very good luck!PMcNemarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890726820203936945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3187438374932249987.post-75148498156989411322011-06-08T21:19:01.997-07:002011-06-08T21:19:01.997-07:00I've lost another one....one of the reds...tha...I've lost another one....one of the reds...thankfully NOT Riccardo.....think it was a cat. We've eliminated the cat in question (was also one who raided rabbits hutches to pull bunnies through the wire) so hopefully that will be the last one......for a while at least. Definately no more smugness on my chicken rearing skills....<br /><br />Sorry the chick numbers have gone down by 2..... Hopefully since you know what caused it, your others will thrive & go on to be egg layers for you :-)* Crystal *https://www.blogger.com/profile/05747729287507332288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3187438374932249987.post-40943055386502725362011-06-05T21:39:29.554-07:002011-06-05T21:39:29.554-07:00I too, had a healthy case of chicken arrogance.

They forced a spare on me tho, so I had 7 chicks. 2 months later, 7 little hens are feathered out and doing swell. I worked with Maremma #1 on chicken manners and he was doing quite well...I didn't count on Maremma #2. We are down to 5 chicks now!peteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04842363901612535790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3187438374932249987.post-39704020601110131492011-05-26T09:30:18.811-07:002011-05-26T09:30:18.811-07:00Oh my!

I've seen a buckling chase a chicken into a fence and then head butt them until I thought the end was near before being able to free the chicken. But what a crazy thing you saw! And don't doubt your rearing skills - this was a odd one.Marissahttp://www.sandhollerfarm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3187438374932249987.post-6991393262317358392011-05-19T14:54:06.183-07:002011-05-19T14:54:06.183-07:00Chickens are wonderful!!

I've had chickens before but purchased them as adults....these are my first chicks to raise & I've become surprisingly attached to them.<br /><br />They are highly entertaining.....we are going to Acco on Friday to pick up a few more I think....after this loss I'm a lil paranoid I suppose, even if it was a freak accident.<br /><br />Thanks for following my blog :-) I've really enjoyed reading yours & will stop in often for updates.<br /><br /> Have a great day!!!* Crystal *https://www.blogger.com/profile/05747729287507332288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3187438374932249987.post-69122774335806145312011-05-19T03:53:38.149-07:002011-05-19T03:53:38.149-07:00Hi Crystal, I wanted to thank you for visiting my ...Hi Crystal, I wanted to thank you for visiting my blog, taking time to comment, and becoming a follower! I am returning the favor. <br /><br />It is hard to lose that first chicken. :( We ordered 24 initially, lost 4 Barred Hollands to some sort of genetic weakness, and then I dropped the heat lamp on one of the Ameraucanas and killed it. I know that horrible feeling of irresponsibility! <br /><br />Aren't their personalities fun though? Interesting how these are breed traits as well as individual personalities.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.com
