feathers in the feeder

[AP332]

Yes, usually every morning I find the feeder like this. I first thought it was the girls, (hens) but why and how could they? I am really leaning to the mouse theory. Although why in the feeder? The hens seem fine and the rooster isn't upset so I guess I will just have to chalk it up to weirdness in the coop.

And they are not there when you lock up at night?
I would think if the mice moved the feathers into the feeder, you'd probably find some droppings in there too.

Gremlins.

Gremlins!! I like that one.
I have not seen any mouse poop, and you know how mice love to poop.
I think I am going with gremlins.

Indeed.
but.....

Invisible.

That would fit-invisible poop would be gremlins. I did find a small amount of feathers in the feeder this evening so it was done during the day, I've not seen that before. curiouser and curiouser

Will be curious to see if there's more in the morning.
Get out there early before the birds are off the roost.
You might need to set up a game cam to figure out how this is happening.
