Hi everyone,
This is my first time posting here. Unfortunately, we lost all 3 of our sweet chickens this week. I'm so saddened by this. It was our first go with our chickens and we were just coming up on our 1 year with them. Either very late at night or early in the morning something got to our chickens. When I discovered the awful scene I thought it was either a raccoon or fox. I want to be sure so that I can make our coop safer and also for peace of mind. I saw feathers EVERYWHERE. There was one chicken dead inside of the coop with just the head seperated from the body but nothing eaten from it. The other chicken was found about 15 feet away from the coop and it was just the wings. I found feathers and the feet from the second chicken about 30 feet from the coop. The other chicken was gone. I could see some feathers from it near the coop but that's it. Whatever got into the coop did so thought the nesting box that is raised from the ground about 3 feet. I am just so heart broken. Please help if possible!
Thanks,
Candyce
