Bared Rock or Dominique?

I'm so sorry for your loss. Did you find out what did that?

We are thinking a bobcat. That’s really the only thing that would have had the strength to rip the wire the way it was and would hop up and walk the block wall to get to them. Other than bobcats, owls and hawks are the main predators out here.

Here’s a better, more current pic of mine I think she’s about 3-3.5 months old.

I went out one morning and the other one was missing. I looked everywhere. I finally saw where the wire was pushed down on the roof, pulled away from the two boards it was secured between. There was 1 little stripped feather on the top of the run and a couple in the wire where she was pulled through They liked to sleep on the top of their house so they were easy to grab I guess we have since made the whole roof solid and put a motion spot light out there too. They were in a sectioned off part of the run at the time, getting integrated to the flock, and now they’re in with the big girls and go in the big house every night so I worry a little less.

She’s so pretty!! We must have the same or very similar hybrids! And man I’m so sorry for your loss… isn’t weird how domesticated cats know chickens are off limits? Or at least mine do, I can’t speak for all cats, I suppose. Ive lost one to a raccoon, because we had no idea they could unlock a simple latch, and another one to a dog because the coops tipped over during a hurricane, and someone’s dog got loose.
