I live in Northern Kentucky, and today my favorite hen was killed in an unusual and new way. Her neck was stripped down to the esophagus, and her head was picked nearly clean. There are blood splatters all over the inside of the box they sleep in, and she was tucked in the corner under the egg boxes. The rooster she was with had blood on his face and feet, and there are no signs of anything getting in. No bent fencing, no feathers scattered, no holes in the area around the coop, nothing. we have barbed wire wrapped around the coop up to 3 feet high. Would a rooster do this? Is there some kind of new predator in northern kentucky that can get passed barbed wire?
