    Why did my rooster kill all my hens??

    Got rats all exterminated. Have several rat boxes for rat and mice control as well that I keep bait in for the rats and mice. I also keep the house and run lit up at night which is to deter any preitor from going into the coop and house at night.

    Why did my rooster kill all my hens??

    Ots a wooden house. I lock the door and have 3 bricks in front of the door so nothing can get in or out of the house. They also are in their pen I built for them to keep them in at night in the far corner away from the door.
