I have 5 RIR layers, The other nite something killed and ate one of my hens. The only thing that was left was the legs and wings. It looked like something just took its time and set there and picked everything clean. I have never seen anything like this. Then 2 nites later it happened again. I could not see where anything dug under or any way that anything could have gotten in. I looked for tracks, or anything that would tell me but anything. The only thing is I have a gap over the door about 6 inches. Could an owl get thru this in the night. No other chickens are hurt, just one at a time. Does an owl sit there all nite and eat or does it carry it off. I thought that I read about chickens killing and eating chickens but I cant fine it again. I was told that If they ate cooked chicken table scraps that they would get the taste for meat and start killing. Help
