    Hen attacked and injured

    Recently I’ve had some kind of animal, I assume a feral cat because there’s a bunch around here, terrorizing my chickens.

    Could a cat snatch a 4 week old chick without any evidence?

    I am missing one of my 4 week old baby chicks. It is literally like she disappeared out of thin air. There is ZERO evidence of a scuffle, not even 1 feather on the ground around coop, or the rest of the yard, or even the neighborhood! We have scoured every shrub/tree/fence/etc. Does this seem...
