I don't need a smart reply. No one does, but they are often offered. If you do, I will do what I must.
Four birds are dead in my run. I can't say I know what happened. I will look harder for the point of entry later. If there is one. I closed the run when I checked on the broody pen. They could have been killed before that. I remember the ducks walking into the run as I was leaving the other side. That isn't odd. Jojo wants me all the time, and will come outside if he can get through the other ducks laying around. So I remember seeing the white of the ducks. I can't remember if the cockerels (three SPR) were roosting on the pop door. They are the ones gone, and it looks like one of my blue pullets. I looked inside, and all was okay. I looked at the roof, and didn't see a gap in the wire.
The only question I have, is what do I do with the bodies? Part of me wants to use them to practice processing, but the flies make me believe that is not a good idea. I don't have woods to put them in. Can I get away with double (or triple) bagging them, and putting them in the trash?
And why not the turkey that roosts on the roof? She is easy to catch.
