My chicken got murdered... where can i get a couple hens?

[alnen]

It happened around dusk, still not sure what the culprit was- neighbor's cat maybe? Opossum? Haven't seen any raccoons but maybe?

Where do i go to get a few hens? What breed are these? I raised them from day old chicks, and have gone from 4 to 2 over the first 6 months. I want to add 3 to the flock and I'm told by a very smart gentleman on odt that they can be clickish, so hopefully we can get some replacements that fit in. I prefer not to start over with chicks at this point in time!

Thanks in advance!

Looks like a “Rhode Island Red” - maybe …..not real positive.

They are good for eggs, tame easy, stick around , etc.,

Looks like my brown hyline. They're high producing egg layers.

She just starting laying 2 weeks ago and was good for a daily egg. From day old chick, to t month old big girl, to laying 14 eggs, to dead. Not my most efficient use of resources for sure!

It wasn't a opossum head is still on it. The market bulletin is a good place
to buy from.
