Chickens Abandoned Coop

[mommafambro]

Our free rangers have always put themselves to bed in the coop except for one prefers a bush since her rooster had to find a new home. Last night I heard a racket in the coop and ran out to look. 2 hens were in the run area seemingly frightened while the other 2 were firmly on the same roost. Lots of feathers but no other sign of intruder. Tonight they all have picked the bush or porch for resting tonight. Thoughts?

Lock the coop and catch and eliminate the predator.

Something is either getting into the coop or attempting to get into the coop. You need to make sure they are closed in every night.
