A little over 2 weeks ago I found a dead guinea in the pen. I free range then except at night I lock them up in the pen we enclosed under our kids playhouse. Not a predator attack, nothing seemed visibly wrong, no one seems sick....then today I found another one in the almost exact same spot but this time it looks like maybe the others pecked it’s face. Any idea what could be going on????

Here’s a picture of their pen, the roost across boards tucked up under the play house. After the first loss we put a tarp on the left side half the front and half the right side to keep wind drafts off them. It’s still plenty open for airflow though.

Would they pull a guinea off the roost and kill them and then just leave them? I didn’t see any marks on the first one. Also today my daughter opened the coop so it was dead in there all day, could one of my cats maybe got to it after it was dead?
