Our chicks are a little over 3 months old and have been in the coop for a couple weeks now with no problems. The other night we had something dig under the coop and take our pullet. I patch the hole with some wire until I could get enough wire to go around the whole coop. The next night it came back and dug a different hole and took our bantam pullet. Each time there where feathers from the chick that was taken. So I than moved the chicks into the garage for two nights to see if it came back. It did come back and nocked the feeder over and the food was every where
Since the cage in the garage is not big enough for them to stay in I decided to put them in our soon to be temp coop. The temp coop which is a dog kennel we are converting into a coop (still no where close to done
) I patched any holes there where and decided to put them into a dog crate inside the kennel just to make sure nothing could get them. This morning I found what ever it is dug under the wire blocking the one hole, the crate had been moved side ways, the feeder had been moved, and there where holes dug.
What do you think could be doing this? The holes that have been dug under each coop have been rather small.
Thanks
* Please excuse the mess *
These are the holes dug in the coop.
