A few mentioned it might be a ferret in the thread I started, but no one I've spoken to thought we could have them in this area, but honestly it seems like pretty much nothing could have gotten into the run, so I might have to buy it. It's getting dark here, so I'll have to take some tomorrow...
Yep, solid metal roof. Checked the entire run again for any weak points today, but nope! It really is a mystery, thankfully no one else was lost today.
Thanks for the welcome!
Unfortunately, today I found #13 headless in the middle of my run at around 2 p.m. There was no blood at all, no feathers, no other injuries, and no signs of attack. The run is made of 1/4" hardware cloth all the way round and fully enclosed on all 6 sides. Nothing left...
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Very new to chickens, which I acquired entirely by accident only a few months ago.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I currently have 12 chickens, one is a rooster, one an adult hen, and the rest adolescents.
