We had our 4 week old hens in a run on our porch getting them acclimated to being outside. We had the run leaning against our wall so the opening was closed out by the wall of our house and covered with tarp and a sheet at night. This morning I saw that the run was slightly moved and 2 of my babies were missing. There was no sign of struggle.. no feathers.. no blood. The 2 other hens were perfectly fine. What could have possibly taken them? I've read that raccoons often leave the carcasses in the place of attack or a few yards away but we searched our whole yard (about an acre) and we didn't find anything. Is this always the case with raccoons ? or could it have been something else? I'm so devastated and this could have been prevented if we would have boarded up that opening (which we did this morning after this happened...=( )
