Meat Chick Safety

Last night an animal attacked the chicken tractor. One of the chicks was seriously injured and had to be put down. The animal was able to attack the chick through a small gap (about 1") between the bottom of the chicken tractor and the ground. When moving the chicken tractor and before putting the chicks to bed we should remember to check around the outside of the pen to make sure that there are no such gaps. There are a number of bricks stacked around the chicken tractor to block up the gaps to ensure that this type of attack does not happen again. Let this attack be a reminder to us all to be more conscious of our animals' safety and security.
