Why do I somehow have fewer chickens every day? What kind of animal is stealing chickens? Urgent!!!!

Your chickens are decreasing every day, and it could be that some animals are stealing and eating them during the night. From the information you provided, we can't be sure what animal is stealing the chickens, but we can make inferences based on some possible scenarios.

1.Weasels: Weasels are one of the natural predators of chickens, they are usually nocturnal and have an agile ability to move and a strong sense of smell.

However, judging by the information you provided, it wasn't a weasel caught in the trap, so the weasel may not be the culprit for stealing the chickens.

2.Birds: Some birds such as owls or eagles may steal chickens at night, but 7 chickens in one night may be an exaggeration. Even newborn chicks struggle to digest that much.

3.Other mammals: It is possible that other mammals, such as foxes, badgers, etc., are stealing chickens. These animals are nocturnal and have a keen sense of smell and hearing, and are able to easily find and steal chickens.

It is recommended that you take some measures to protect your flock, such as increasing night lighting, strengthening the coop, and avoiding placing food around the chicken feed, so that you can identify the animal that stole the chicken and take appropriate measures. It is also recommended that you consult a local farmer or animal expert for more accurate advice and assistance.

You can see what kind of animal it is by looking at the bite marks, and then you can look at the footprints around it, or if there are any fallen hairs or something.

From the bite marks, you can see if there are two holes, or a row of tooth marks, or if the whole neck is bitten out. Observe whether there are traces of a fight or footprints around, if it is a predator larger than the chicken, it usually does not leave traces of dragging, and will go directly with the chicken in its mouth, but if it is relatively small, there will be traces of dragging, you can follow this trace to find out if there are any new clues. You can also check if there are gaps of this size in your coop by using the footprints to determine the size of the predator.

You can also drive the chickens back to the coop at night and sprinkle flour around them to come and see them the next day.

It could also be a bird, such as a owl or an eagle, but 7 chickens a night... It would take a very large bird to have so much food, even a newborn chick wouldn't need that much... Coupled with this feeding frequency, I think it should be a warm-blooded mammal, maybe it is relatively large, maybe there are newborns.

It's best to look at tooth marks and footprints. If you really can't do it, you can put up a picture of the environment of the chicken coop or a picture of a chicken that has been bitten to death.

Dogs, weasels, etc., many animals will prey on poultry such as chickens, ducks, geese, etc. when they are hungry. Observe if there are any holes in the ground around your chicken coop, rats and snakes sometimes eat chickens.

You use white portions, flour, whatever flour you want, sprinkle it on the ground, and the next day you see what kind of animal it is. Wish!

Have the chickens been stolen again? What's going on?

Weasels, wild cats, and snakes will eat and so on.

Broiler egg production varies depending on the breed. But all of them are between 160 and 190 pieces. For example, the average egg production of the hens at 66 weeks of age is 193, and the cumulative egg production of Xianju yellow chickens is 163 in the maternal line and 138 in the sire line, and the number of eggs laid by the hens in the house is 183 190.

Secondly, it is affected by the method of feeding and the level of nutrition. Breed is a genetic factor, which is the main factor that determines the amount of eggs, but there is no good way to raise the good breed, and its egg production cannot go up. To evaluate the quality of broilers, the main thing is to look at the market weight that can be achieved at about 6 weeks old, that is, the early growth should be fast; The second is the weight gain ratio of material consumption, that is, the amount of feed consumed for every kilogram of weight gained, the lower the material consumption, the better; And then there's the egg production.

Stew that chicken that was fine.

It's hot, it's shedding, and so is my house.

I don't quite understand either. Check it for you, it may be that the feeding is too dense, or it may be a feed problem.

Because the chicken's natural predator, the weasel, often comes out at night, and if the chicken is in an unprotected place, it will be stolen and eaten by the weasel at night. In addition to weasels, there are rats, snakes, and more. Because weasels, rats, and snakes are all at night, the chickens return to the safety of their nests at night and go out to feed the next day when the weasels won't be around.

Chickens go into the coop on their own at night for two reasons:

OneHabits dictate。The chickens raised now are actually domesticated from pheasants in the past, and pheasants belong to bird animals that have wings and can fly. In order to escape the threat of natural predators, pheasants have a more complete function of wing leaping and will be used more frequently.

With the domestication of domestic chickens, due to the reduction of the threat of natural enemies, coupled with a relatively comfortable growing environment, there is no need to find food in the wild, and there is no need to build their own nests.

BirdsWe all know that they build their own nests, which are also the birds' dwellings, going out during the day and returning to their nests at night to rest. Now that domestic chickens have owners to build nests, the natural habit of returning to the nest at night cannot be changed. Therefore, if the chickens are arranged in the same nest by the owner in the early stage, then after becoming a habit, the chickens will naturally return to the nest by themselves, which is determined by the natural living habits.

IIAwareness of self-preservationAnimals are born with a sense of precaution and self-preservationIt's the same with humans. During the day, there are fewer natural predators, especially for domestic chickens, which have fewer natural predators, and the most are weasels and snakes.

However, most weasels and snakes also haunt at night in search of food, so chickens also know that it is not safe to rest in the wild at night, plus chickens have poor eyesight at night. Therefore, if the nest built by the owner is adapted to by the chickens, they will consciously return to their nests to rest and avoid natural enemies.

The chicken is a particularly intelligent animal, and after the chicks have just hatched, they are taken back to the coop several times at night by the hens, and the chicks know to play and go back to the coop to sleep at night. In fact, chickens return to the coop every night, which is also a habit that is slowly formed after being domesticated by pheasants into domestic chickens.

Therefore, when humans build a chicken coop, they will cover the chicken coop in a high place to prevent weasels from stealing chickens. If the chicken is not cooped, the chicken will fly to the branch to spend the night at night, so whether there is a coop or not, the chicken will find a safe place to spend the night at night.

Because they subconsciously regard it as their home, looking for shelter.

Because it's a nest for chickens, they go into the coop at night.

That's because animals have a homing behavior, so chickens are able to return to their nests at night.

Because the chicken is also guided into the chicken cage by the owner in the early stage, it will be used to it in the later stage.

Because we make it a habit to make it a habit to go inside at night.

Because after a hard day, the chicken is also tired, causing it to rest as well.

Maybe he thinks that's where he sleeps, maybe chickens need a sense of security when they sleep.

Because it has its own scent, it will feel very intimate. There is also a part due to genetic inheritance.

Because the chickens are tired at night, they know it's time to rest.

For 40 days, drop one or two a day and you can laugh secretly. If it's not a disease, don't care. Sudden death syndrome is incurable, ** is the slow development of organs such as heart, liver and lungs, which does not adapt to the rapid growth and development needs of musculoskeletal growth, simply put, it grows too fast.

Chickens that die suddenly are generally very large, mostly with their bellies upwards.

It is impossible for broilers to be in the later stage, it is normal to die three or two, most of them are caused by viral diseases and bacterial diseases, there is no need to care about it, the main thing is to control it well in the early stage.

A small number of deaths is relatively normal, and it is normal to ensure a survival rate of more than 95% at the end of the entire feeding period, and no matter how low it is, there is no profit. If you are raised flat on the ground, you should pay attention to E. coli disease and ascites, which is the details of the abdomen you said, and it is best to take two chickens with obvious symptoms to the veterinarian station to see.

You can open it to see if the liver is ruptured, to see if there is yellow fluid on the surface of the stomach, ascites or sudden death, and it's hard to say if the cockscomb is purple It could be Newcastle disease or the flu.

Hello, with penicillin, separate injection of pectoral muscles, a bottle of penicillin diluted with 16ml of cold boiled water, can be injected sixteen. A bottle of Lentinomycin can be injected with 20ml of cold boiled water. Continuous injection for two days.

Twenty chickens were fed two dysenteric tablets a day for 3-5 days.

Keep the chicken shed dry, do a good job of heat preservation, sprinkle more sun during the day, and usually use a little garlic mixture to maintain health. Haven't you medicated yet? Immediately! For more information 761317966 add me.

Dozens of chickens don't need to be so troublesome, first a week to ensure the temperature and add medicine for diarrhea, 7 days to do Newcastle disease (5 yuan a bottle of 1000 birds) in 2 months to do it. After 15 days of decoccidial (2 yuan a bag), once in February, there is a rainy drive, and there is no need to do it, and there should be no problem in keeping the pen dry and hygienic.

The information there is very comprehensive.

It may be that you have chicken cholera, you must get the chicken plague vaccine on time, you should also pay attention to prevention work in normal times, and when you take it back to the house at night, you should have a large space, and you can't accumulate a piece of it.

Feed the corn, change the plains, your chicken is not a pheasant, not adapted to the environment. The chickens are not sick because the environment is not good.

Raise less sanitation and clean up, feeding or feeding is better.

You can only take it slowly, don't raise so much at once, in fact, there are many tricks to raising chickens, it may be your climate problem. And maybe there's something dirt on the ground that you've got in and hurt the chickens, and a lot of things you can't explain. Don't just think it's as simple as giving him a meal.

Take your time.

I may have to prepare for chicken farming next year.

Raise a few geese Weasel will not dare to come Supplement: Weasel is most afraid of goose droppings So where there are geese, weasels will not go.

Thank you for the trouble to adopt!
