Chicken thief

[Krayfish57]

Has anyone had any of their chickens stolen over night?
Woke up this morning and I only had 2 chickens. My Golden Comet was gone. There is no sign of a breakin what so ever and no sign of a struggle. I personally lock them up in their coop when the sun sets. Still in shock over this......

what breed and gender did they leave behind?

mainly gender because if they left the roosters behind and only took the hens it was probably a people.


were there foot (or shoe) prints that did not belong to you?

I don't have any roosters. Just 3 hens. It is pretty dry and grassy. No footprints.

Sounds fishey

I know! I just wondered if this has happened to anyone else. You always think a 4 legged predator will get them not a 2 legged one.

I am so sorry for your loss. I really do not understand people who do this type of thing. Even if the family was hungry they could knock and ask you to teach them and how to do it themselves or to buy one from you! There is all kinds of bartering one can do.... one service for another etc. I have been hungry but would never steal something. I have however helped in gardens in exchange for some produce. Or traded off one for another.

Sorry doop I am a novice on terminology... WHAT or WHO is a "squatch"????
