A few birds survived predator attack 😥

Well yes and no. They have 2 runs and the bird netting was only keeping them from not straying too far when free ranging

Ohhh. When did the attack happen, and where were the birds?

In the run... That I didn't colse I went to close them at like 8:30 PM so It probably happened around that time because some of the birds were still warm and twitching

Okay. That’s strong fencing, but the holes are big enough for a predator to pull a bird through.
Is the wire dug into the ground?

Yes

 

[TheOddOneOut]

Yes

Hmm…where did the foxes get in? What was left open?
The birds really should not sleep in the run. They should be roosting in a secure structure.
