Can you help me figure out what kind of predator killed my hen? My first fatality and my favorite.
Found her tangled in (movable) fence like she was trying to get away. Only the meat of the neck was eaten to the bone and the entire body was attached. Feathers everywhere. Also found eggs on top of run, one busted, one bloody. Hens have never laid eggs anywhere but their nest boxes so I am so confused. I did not see any sign of digging around perimeter and nothing was in coop. I regret that I did not have electric fence turned on. We do have hawks around, live in the country, skunks, fox, coyote, etc. Any ideas of what happened or advice to prevent it from reoccurring? I turned the fence on! Iām so sad.
