I am baffled. I patched up all tiny holes that a predator could get in and still am getting raid. This morning there was scat next to the dead hen. Anyone know who poops like this? It almost looks like deer poop except it has obvious remains of berries in it. The hens are killed in a totally enclosed area attached to the coop, They are totally eaten. Only thing I find are the wings and bones. All the meat is gone. Usually the second dead hen is only partially eaten. I have one hen that survived with superficial wounds on her back. Could this be a raccoon family?

So sorry!
Recheck your coop and run, again! A predator inside at lockup time? Something isn't working for your flock!
Try identifying the scat, maybe on a thread here, or on another google search.
And post photos of your coop and run here.
