We have had a hawk lurking. Do they rip Open the abdomin?
This was a daytime attack and i read that weasels are mostly nocturnal.

Iv had chickens killed by Hawks and they would eat a strip of breast meat or off the neck and leave the rest . Really sounds like a Cooper hawk or red tail that got Your hen .
We saved one once that the hawk had 10 ft in the air. The screaming and running startled it enough to decide to let it go. Surprised the hen didn’t have a heart attack!A hawk just had a hen pinned to the ground. I scared it away, but the hen ran away and I can't find it.
Now I'm just checking all the tree tops.
Yes but a silky, which is a smaller chicken.Was it a full grown hen?
Take the eggs and leave a golf ball in the nest. You could also just leave one egg in the best every day. You could also separate your rooster from the chickens. Your choice.Okay. I have a broody hen. I left her in the nesting box with her 4 eggs. Today I go look and the other ladies have been giving her eggs and now she has 12.
I'm sure its an instinctive, save the species thing.
Question for chicken people. Should I have separated her and her eggs from the other hens when she first went broody or leave her in the nesting box?
I don't need 12+ baby chicks every time a lady goes broody. I was hoping to get 4 babies to replace the ones the fox ate.
That’s a good looking soup, I mean rooster....

Very handsome roo there Robin!! I would like one like that.
Silkys are so pretty!
And smart. When trying to catch her she would fake you out and think about how to evade. The Rhodes island reds were great egg producers but dumb as rocks.Silkys are so pretty!
