Didn't witness it, just the aftermath, looks like a murder scene, had to do a head count because their netting was fown- all accounted for!
But... I'm pretty sure I know the culprit as we've had a few issues of her wanting to pin down others as they squat for her and comb peck.
Finally figured out which one lost all the feathers. Although there are a mix of gray, white and orange.
Is it just pecking order fight or is she molting?(or both) Or is the one trying to be a rooster? (Yes it is a hen I've watched her drop eggs)
Pics included. Pumpkin is from yesterday.
