Hi all...I never thought it would happen to me...
It has been really cold here, and my husband and I were late getting the girls up last night...
Out of 8 (1 roo, 7 girls) we could could only find five...
This morning we searched and searched. My DH found one of our 5 mo GLWs, frozen solid, but no sign of attack...however...
When he was searching the back three acres, which are wooded, he saw bobcat prints in the snow on the topside of fallens trees and logs.
The other two girls we never found, but also we saw no feathers or blood.
The two we lost were a 5 mo Australorp (Snowball), who began laying on this past Monday, and our 5 mo RIR (Rocket).
I had never thought about bobcats, I had considered all the usual suspects, racoons, dogs, hawks, coyotes, humans, etc...
