We started raising chickens about 9 months ago and we had 7 hens. This evening came home to find two dead and missing five. We are so upset and wondering what happened. The two dead chickens did not have any physical wound. There are feathers inside the coop and outside. What do you think happened? We live just outside the city limits. Definitely not in the country. We know it is not a hawk as it would have torn up the birds. 5 missing chicken is astonishing. How can some animal carried away all five. There are no feathers in the front yard or the neighbors yard. The birds were free range. Now we are back to 0 birds. We are so upset. Please help us understand what could have happened.
Thanks.
Thanks.
