Chicken Saga

so I have now started thinking of raising meat chickens to sell as freerange organic.  i had fifty shipped to my house from texas and when they arrived we had sixteen non living.  within two days we had lost thirtyseven.  the hatchery replaced the loss and i regained some confidence in my ability to not kill chicks.  the birds did well and then were moved out to their skid house.  two coyote attacks later we ar down to twentyone chicks.  this has definitely been a tough start and very trying on my confidence.
