Has anyone ever seen this before? She is half the size of the other chickens. Never seen her hurt her leg or anything. Has gotten worse over the last few weeks... She can still walk but limps.
We live in the county. In the middle of nowhere! They are free range during the day, and we lock the coop up at night. No fence just a coop. We have lost 7 in the last year and a half. But nothing ever like this. From all the feathers we thought they were all dead. There is a dog who has...
Got home last night, with only one of our ten chickens in the coop. Found one dead(breast half eaten) , and three hiding. The rest came back this morning. ALL of them are missing feathers. Two are hurt worse. There were feathers all the way around our house... Any ideas on what would or could...

We have been looking some places. They are free range during the day. We are thinking something came through and scared/ran them off. We really don't know. We have no clue what happen. We just know that they all go into the coop together at night. But this morning only 5 were in there. So I...
No gaps. Thank you. I hope we figure this out too. I know we have coyotes, but never seen a hawk or an owl. I know that does not mean they are not there. Just very strange!
We leave them out during the day. The coop is an old dog lot, with chicken wire ran all the around and on the ground and on top. Golden reds and black sexlinks is what kind they are. I would say average size. Do you think they would take four at one time? That is what is so puzzling.
We lost four yesterday. Went to let them out this morning, and four were gone. No sign of anything in the coop. Checked around no feathers or any signs they were killed. But they were scared off before dark, never even went in last night .
