RE: CHICKEN CAMOUFLAGE - THOUGHTS TO CONSIDER WHEN FREE RANGING CHICKENS

Yep. White or solid light-colored birds usually have short lifespans. I can’t even begin to count the numbers Grandma lost in her time of raising chickens, in comparison to other colors. One year we (my hubby and I) had an eagle take up residence on the rimrocks above our house and it dutifully picked off all our light colored chickens and our light-colored barn cats. 😕 Awful, but true. Reds, barred rocks, spangled hamburgs, Auricaunas, etc are much more resilient. Even the solid black austrolorpes fare better than white.

Thanks for chiming in with that!
