My kids went out to get eggs the other day, and came in to tell me there was little spots of blood all over the coop. Sure enough, specs of blood flung high and low, in the nesting boxes, and in the main part of the coop, all over the watering bucket. Examination of all six chickens and we found a couple spots on our white chicken on her feathers, but other than that we can't find any evidence of any injuries on them, or even bloody feet or beaks from putting up a fight. We can't find a rodent or other carcass if it was something they killed that got into the coop. Any ideas on what it would be? Could they have fought something off that got into their coop and not gotten any injuries themselves, but left no dying or dead predator? I've never seen anything in our backyard, we haven't had rodent problems that we've been aware of.
