Crying my eyes out

[SuperLuke]

Something got into the coop and took one of my girls. I was away and my parents where home. It was at night my parents went out side. Things got knocked over and the animal broke the bottom of the door to get out. It got in threw under the fence. Im so sad

My baby

Sorry for your loss. Make sure that your coop is fortified for tonight and the future. The predator will return.

 

[SuperLuke]

Is there a chance my girl is still alive

 

[Dipsey]

I would say if an animal got her then she is more than likely gone. +1 on the fortify your coop for tonight. If a predator knows there is more it will be back. All you can do is try to protect the others. I'm sorry for your loss.

 

[SuperLuke]

Im heartbroken.

Very sorry for your loss. Make sure you fix any holes that allowed the predator to come in so you can keep your other chickens safe. The predator will be back so you have to take action to protect the other. Good luck!

 

[SuperLuke]

What type of predator do you guys think it is. I think it got under from under the fence..... And is my baby in shock? She hasn't bin herself she hasn't bin to active

The potential predators will depend on where you are located. If in the US first suspect is raccoon.

I do live in the us. How could 1 raccoon drag a chicken? Did it need more than 1 raccoon?

One raccoon could drag away two chickens at a time, and come back for more. Do not underestimate them. Keep in mind we really don't know what did this, but raccoon is the usual suspect. Guilty until proven innocent.
