I lost a hen 9/20 ish. I think it was a rat. because I saw a large ( and I mean HUGE) rat running up the out side of one of my coops. To bad all I had was a flashlight.

I dont know the age, he was gifted to me with some hens. I have had him about 1.5 years. This just started in the last week.
He eats layer mash and cracked corn/corn scratch and some beet pulp. I'm in central FL. He is an older guy.

I have a very nice cochin roo that is limping when he walks and lays down alot. I can take pics and post them. one of his center pads is peach pit sized and the good one is gumball sized.
