Dead chicken!

[Alyciaraya16]

i walked outside today and was counting my chickens, but i noticed i was missing one. which isn’t uncommon considering they like to dig a lot and wonder off. but i was looking for her and she was under my deck, dead!!! she didn’t have her head and her entire back end was gone and we could see her entire inside!!! what could’ve happened how would something like this even happen!?

Maybe attacked by a predator

 

[BobStuart]

Well would have

 

[BobStuart]

But I’m sorry about that

Yes sounds like a predator got her. I'm sorry. Do you lock them up in a coop at night?

Set a live trap with cat food or sardines. If I was guessing it's a Coon your gonna catch.

 

[BigBlueHen53]

You might also catch a skunk, opossum or cat with that bait. You need to know what to do with whatever you catch.

I'm going to take a guess and say it was a raccoon or opossum, it could have possibly been a cat that hid the body for later eating. I'm sorry for your lose

Sorry for your loss

I’m very sorry about the loss of your hen. It was a predator, unless she just died unexpectedly and was then scavenged. A neighborhood dog left to run around unchecked is also capable of doing that. I hope you find out what killed her.
