[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 545680, member: 1514"] You live in Texas. What kind of enclosed area was Nugget in? Did he has complete roam of the yard or did he have a coop? We used to raise chickens and I have some ideas for you when and if you are ready to get him a new chicken. I would bet my right arm that Nugget got mangled by either a hawk or an owl. Or it could have been some sort of dog or bobcat but Im pretty sure they would have taken the chicken with them unless you have a whole lot of chickens. I would make the new chicken/s a coop that is about 3 foot off the ground and about about 3 foot by 5 foot. with a roof on it. I would build a fence around their area with chicken or hog wire which is not expensive at all, and make it about 25 foot per side. That gives them plenty of space to run around. Put a top on it. You can bend the top across with large sticks so its tall enough for you guys to walk inside it. If you want eggs from this chickens, make sure you get one rooster and at least 3 hens. Once they get old enough to lay eggs, feed them laying mash and feed them either oyster shells or crush up their eggs shells after you eat them and feed them those in their feed. [/QUOTE]
