Hey all

What a coincidence! My roof started to leak also! I assume that our houses forgot what rain is!

Good morning everyone!

Yes this is very possible. Still raining so fixing will have to wait. Still not feeling well since Thanksgiving bug hit so I'm not to anxious to get onto roof just yet. Good afternoon Benny

Local TSC doesn't have it.

I found this on my way out....down to 9 now, assuming none of the others got taken. What in the world would kill, in broad daylight (unless it happened last night before I put them up) and only eat the neck, leaving the rest untouched? Feathers scattered over a 10' area...one of my pullets.

That's the head on the left, mostly intact

A cat? A racoon? A mink? Another chicken?

chickens will sometimes kill and eat their sisters.

My guess would be a hawk of some sort. Specially with the head still being attached and the neck picked clean.
