I had a doe that had her babies on the wire a while back and they all died. My rabbit cages are in my chicken pen. By the time we found the babies, the chickens had already found them and had been jumping up and pulling the dead babies through the bottom of the cage.
Well apparently they acquired a taste for it because today, I had some 12 day old babies get out of their box and the chickens started eating them alive through the bottom of the cage! I am so upset about this. They killed 3 of the babies and left one bleeding and dying after removing its legs. It was so very awful!
I am so done with chickens!!! My husband through together a temporary cage for all the chickens and I am listing them on craigslist tomorrow. ALL OF THEM!!!
