I just woke up to a ruckus, ran outside, and after a fair amount of searching found one of my girls dead and across the entire yard. Bleeding from the head and missing a lot of feathers, but nothing eaten as far as I can tell. I looked all over the coop and can not figure out where something...

This morning, I went out to let my girls out of the coop and came up 1 short. I haven't found blood, a body, or a hole in the coop. The only evidence was a trail of feathers leading from the coop out into the yard, where it just ends with no further evidence. There's also a fence separating the...
