keep losing chickens

[Medizzytoo]

I was losing chickens off the deck while roosting, then out of the coop while broody...now the 9 week old chicks are being pulled out of the pen....what could be yanking them thru the wholes in the pen?

Could be anything, but I'd close up those holes with hardware cloth so no one else can be pulled through. Those must be fairly large holes if a 9 week old can go through, unless they're bantams. I'd say raccoon. They stick their paws through and when the bird comes to see the wiggling fingers, they grab it.

my guess would be coon or weasle!!
