So last night just before the sun set, everyone was up on their Roosts
I noticed 2 eggs in the nest area of one of coops. Figured I would get them this morning and set them (they are fertile)
I walk out there this morning and see an egg on the pool deck - OUTSIDE THE COOP!
The shell was cracked open and the contents gone
I open the coop door (there is an inner door to the chickens area) and the other egg is on the ground broken in half and contents eaten.
1) what the heck did that?
2) how did it get in? As far as i can tell there is not a gap big enough for a coon to get thru.
I do leave the poop door open at night into their run (the run is chain link fence with chicken wire over the ENTIRE TOP)
no damage to the run i can see
I will close them up inside tonight, I was going to move the Hen to a coop by herself on the ground so she can sit her eggs but now I am scared to.
Idea's?
thanks from Central (wow it's Hot) Texas
