You can protect your chickens from predators by building a secure coop with sturdy fencing, installing motion-sensor lights or alarms to deter predators at night, keeping the area around the coop clear of hiding spots for predators, and using guard animals like dogs or llamas to protect the chickens. Regularly checking for signs of predators and repairing any weak spots in the coop or fencing can also help to keep your chickens safe.
Chickens dont fly. Not even Baby ones.
It could be out of fear of predators
it depends if you keep them in a safe environment free range chickens tend to meet predators sometimes but since they have been outside in the wild most free range chickens will protect themselves home raised chickens tend to be on a hawk's menu.because the chickens have a limited area to run away they die easily. to protect the backyard chickens watch them and if a cat or hawk comes scare it away (when your chickens chirp a lot and are running/predators are around),or put them in a large enclosure with a net ceiling that way hawks can catch them,also baby chickens should be in a chicken cage/house they tend to die more then adult chickens(every ting to them is new) (watch younger chickens/prime target) (adult chickens need safety too even though they are more experienced)
There are many predators that will kill chickens. Could have been a raccoon, a possum, a weasel or ferret, a cat or dog, a fox or coyote. Your best hope of discovering is to check from tracks around the coop.
You can find baby chickens anywhere in Auckland, they like to breed like rabbits.
j'aime les poulets de bébé is the phrase. It means I love baby chickens.
Chickens are omnivores....they eat meat when it is available and baby moles/mice are easy to eat for chickens. Nothing wrong with your hens, they are just doing what chickens do, hunting for and eating food.
Nile crocodiles, hyenas and lions are the predators for baby hippos
Chickens need the same things other creatures need.......food, water, and shelter from predators & the weather.
