I have lost three birds in two months. The first was a rouen hen. The last two (a runner hen and a pekin drake) were taken in a little over a week and a half. I don't know what's going on. I'm thinking it's a coyote because there are no feathers or anything around where they are. I let them free range during the day because they don't have a run, just a pen. It seems like whatever it is is striking earlier and earlier. We've been penning them at night but before dusk. My pekin drake was nabbed tonight. It's got to be something larger because he's not little. Any ideas on what it is? My DF is thinking about putting a duck decoy out by their pen to see if he can see what's taking them. I hate this!! I've tried to pen them earlier but they get ticked and refuse to go in.
