Devastated here. I guess my crappy Pullet Shut door failed the last two nights. Six Icelandic hens are missing. Piles of feathers in the coop and just outside the pop door. No blood, no bodies. I noticed the screen door had been shoved in yesterday morning like there was a fight but everyone was already out and free ranging. It wasn't until I could count tonight that I knew what happened. We used a battery charger and got the door shut for tonight. What would have gone in and gotten them as they came off the roosts and left nothing but feathers? It had to have gotten in through a five inch square hole because that is the size of the pop door opening. I am trying to get my game cam working right know. Hard to see through the tears. I lost the beautiful girl with the laced crest, my blue Lukka twin, one of my orange girls and a little beat up hen who was wearing a saddle. It is gone too! I haven't figured out who the last two are that are missing.
Just needed to tell my friends. This is very hard to deal with. I hate those guys at Pullet Shut. I have complained since the day the door arrived and they do not care. They have the money and that is all they care about. Gotta go cry in the shower.
