The rooster is safe and locked in the coop with the hens until I catch who ever is to blame. Just bought some traps going to set them up to catch the little $&@?
Thanks everyone after really going over the cage we found one small hole. We have secured twists left of our guys in the coop and will be wrapping more wire and putting the skirting out farter
Ok I'm going to stop and buy more wire, right now I have chainlink wrapped with chicken wire top too. with chicken wire buried around the outside going out about 1-2 feet.
Going to try to find some very small
Holed wire how far up should I wrap? I'm assuming if it's a predator they can climb.
I'm located in Ohio I will get a photo of the coop when I get back they have a nice size run and coop is lifted . 8 by 8 3 feet of ground tan drum is cage on top too. 5$3 charge is chain link and wrapped with chick wire top too. Them a tarp in top of that.
There is no sign at all of something...
Went to feed and water my chickens yesterday and I found 5 dead hens a couple with heads off. Check cage no Predators have gotten in. My rooster had what looked like blood around beak area. The rest of them seemed calm . Checked back a few times last night all seemed well.
Went out this...
