If you find any holes out of chickens' reach, you can fill those with steel wool. Otherwise, most of us would cover the holes with 1/2" hardware cloth. Nothing gets through that. I'm so scared for you that it's going to happen again.My suspects were either a snake or a weasel? We just put up a trail cam, and it caught an image of a pretty big cat last night, but a cat couldn't get into it anywhere.
She wore a little diaper so no mess.A therapy chicken! I love that! Maybe I should suggest bringing in one of my chickens to the office someday.

I definitely used to have a diaper for when I last had chickens - maybe I'll have to bring it out of retirementShe wore a little diaper so no mess.![]()
