A possum will kill and eat the head Bryan know that by experienced it set up traps cause he knows were food is
Oh, wow! All of that time, work and effort. That is discouraging.
she is dog
The monitor lizard strikes. Put some lights and a camera overnight and you’ll see how they operate.
Rats my bro n law had same problem
One thing’s for sure whatever is doing it will be back
Growing pains of being a farmer. It would seem there would be professional chicken farmers that could give you some advice.
How about a chicken coup? They will be inside at night.
Man that sucks ,do snakes do that ???need a camera,sorry brian ,you work so hard ,your friend ❤️💜💜💜🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 you have such patience ,,I don’t know how you do it lol
Rats it is they always leave you with a headless carcass. A cat would usually take the carcass to its hiding spot.
nice video bro
think a dog.

As hard as it is Brian,maybe it’s time to get tuff, with the workers,if you can’t follow the instructions to the letter and do the job right,then you don’t have a job, I’ve experienced the same with the home my Asawa and i built in bicol, nothing got done right till i got harder with what i wanted done and how,not how they think it should be done, because it’s always the short cut way,that costs you in the end,.
Not good especially when things was going good for the chicken on building back up
Oh no sad I don’t understand it either
I would say a rat, Whats if you put a Rooster in the pen?
I don’t know if you have weasels there, if not, you’re probably right about a rat. I have had several killed by rats, but they were always smaller than that chicken you showed. Sorry for the problems you are facing, I keep wishing you well My Friend, Take Care, Stay Safe, Be Well, Mac from Georgia
Oh Brian I’m so sorry. Wish there was something I could do to help. Are they selling chicks 🐥 in town somewhere?
It might be an owl. Install a night vision camera and you’ll find out. Possibly big rats. Also the most common culprit is “Singarong” called locally. It’s called CIVET in English. These are very common in the Philippines but seldom seen. They are nocturnal.
Ok Brian I just found out that your not suppose to put your chics outside untill there feathered. And keep them in a area big enough with temp. On one side higher than the other so they won’t roast to death gives them space to move out of the heat. Put sand in there space with rice hauls on top. It teaches the baby chics to dust bathe and the little pieces of grit them to grind there food… just a thought my friend, I know it’s hard to loose all them 🙁 I think mostly it’s temperature related …. :/
Bubble gum well kill rats
Don’t use stick gum use like double bubble. It fills the belly but can not digest so they can’t eat and they starve to death. Only problem is they can die anywhere
burn all the dead chickens
Very sad Brian,I think you need to start having staff meeting.
That is a lot of chicken to loose,is it something in the ground or a 🦠??
Better hygiene perhaps.
are you using insecticide on yur property for anything from to buggs and plants if you are and the buggs the chickens eat will kill the chickens you need to use some vinegar instead of bleach to clean the chicken waterers
Maybe it could be a large Lizard .
Mongoose ? Sure sounds like what weasels and ferrets do to chickens
Could it be a monitor lizard
check your cage there is predator and check your roof
It’s rat possible
Sorry to hear the sad news regarding your chickens. It could be a dieases season to the chickens. Pray that everything is going to be fine soon.
Where’s the kid 🤷🏻♂️we’re waiting 😂
Sadly There is no treatment for Newcastle Disease however it is easily killed by disinfectants, fumigants and direct sunlight. Getting them off the ground and vaccine is what works. I worked for a Amish chicken farmer here in Ohio that had over a million chickens i know it is on a much bigger scale but what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
Brian your waters might need a good cleaning with bleach
Brain were is Maricel and your Baby,
It’s heartbreaking to work so hard to have a successful hatch’s to then start losing the flock
It is hard to comment without it seeming like criticism or armchair quarterbacking. All I can do is look at it from an outside viewpoint and think what I would try given the circumstances as we see them and that is a weak option as none of us watching know what you have to cope with on a day to day basis. I am sorry it is going bad for you at the moment Brian and I hope you turn it around.
Sorry for the discouraging situation. I think I would be having a very stern meeting with my workers. It’s out of control. I understand your situation, but it needs to be done. Maybe every morning huddle up with them all to remind them things are going to be done that right way or no job. Good luck my friend.

Brian maybe there is a chicken sickness especially if rainy seasons . Thats happen one time im my place its terrible every morning a lot died . My sons use a socks to put the dead .
May peste ng manok sa inyo tatay .
Are there mongooses in the Philippines.. I know their are in Hawaii.. I believe the Relatives of the weasel family..

Hopefully your workers don’t have chickens at home. You can’t work at a poultry farm here if you own so much as a budgie
rats clean the surroundings as needed and ten meters from your chicken coop double bamboo fence, use vetracine for their waters….
Oh no .. that’s awful Brian ..those poor chicks .. the vaccine doesn’t seem to be working ? Or just not enough getting vaccinated ? I can tell you have a heavy heart right now . I’m so sorry . My nephew has 4 Case Farms chicken houses and there have been times he lost his whole flocks. Some didn’t even get fully grown. Others were and just got sick and were gone on no time …I hope things start going better for you .
So sad.😥
Hey Brian,congratulations on Charlie, you need to set some traps to catch whatever is killing the chickens,try putting lemon juice in water for the sick chickens,it helps,good luck God bless.
You have a rat in the hen house!

Disappointing news, Brian. I don’t know how you do it but you always seem to stay calm through any situation.
Maybe a moniter lizard eating your chickens Brian !
