The poor things!! Right now, I'd be more concerned with making them a predator proof coop and run. Are you free ranging them? Do you close them up in a coop at night? All your critters need protection asap. Good luck.

raccoon, skunk, possum

they are a pain and that stupid raccoon can put his paws thru cracks and grab one and tear him up good. had it happen to mine.

Stupid coons!!!! I hate them. Sorry you lost a few hens.

I agree that it could be a number of animals. You will need to check out your coop/run for weaknesses. Chicken wire is not good at keeping predators out, hardware cloth is much better. Sorry about your girls.
