MURDER MYSTERY *photo of dead chicken*

Suggestion: Trap and remove the fox! they like liver as bait!

Thank you all for your help! my family thinks it actually was the fox and he/she dug the hole, killed three chickens. I didn't mention we forgot to close up the chickens a few days ago and the fox came and scared a chicken off the roost, caught it and took it, this happened again and he took another hen from the roost and my broody hen from the nest box, so a total of 3 great laying hens and now something,most likely the fox came and killed 3 more. Now I've lost six out of twelve laying hens in a few days.

So sorry.... it’s frustrating to lose chickens to pred’s.
Use the sadness and frustration, and channel it into finding and implementing solutions that will prevent further losses.

Your coop and run can be made secure... and you can keep the rest of your flock safe.
Right now the fox thinks he’s found an all-you-can-eat buffet —— hang an “out-of-business sign” on your henhouse and send that fox packing....

I suspect heat stroke. Keep looking for the 3rd bird.
