There was a small raccoon in the neighborhood a week ago, but no damage to the coop, and no other missing eggsI’m so sorry for your loss. Have there been any predators around or a lack of other eggs? I’m curious as to what happened.
I'll take a picture in the daylight tomorrow, but no there isn't, we built it very sturdy and anti predator
I'm hoping so, hoping that it was just first time mishaps. I'll give her one more chance for a clutch, if she firms out not to be a good mom then ill just self incubateI suppose you could easily drive yourself mad trying to work out what happeneddo you think she will sit again?
Good luck!
I found some mice under the straw bales in the coop but we've never had rats
Here's some pictures of our coop setup. It's a wooden bottom frame with cattle panels curled over it. Along the bottom 4ish feet is garden wire, and then along the bottom 2 feet we added a layer of chicken wire for extra predator deterrent, with a heavy duty tarp stretched on top for weather protection. These are after i went a little crazy and tore up all the old straw looking for the babies,
My muscovy's do too. I thought I was the only one.
