I let my chickens out yesterday about 1pm. Most of the flock sticks together but one is crippled and she stays in or near the covered run all the time. When I went to put the hens up about 5pm, I found my little crippled one eviscerated right in front of the run. Feathers all around, poor baby ripped open with ropes of intestines pulled out. I live in a rural area and there are plenty of predators around but I have a good tight fence all around the property and few actually come into the yard on foot. A hawk or an owl would have taken her away I think. My neighbor has cats??? Does anybody have an idea about what got my hen?
