Dan you should rely just sty out one night and figure out what it is

I'm settings traps by the pen

Oh no dan! What happened?

If I weren't so afraid of my 3 scovies flying off I would move them back to the pen/coop that's bigger but doesn't have the bird block netting over the top of it.

They aren't so enamoured with sharing space with the white bresse and ayam cemani. I saw my drake Elvis giving Boris my white bresse roo a tail pull several times yesterday.

Then I thought, put them with my laying flock pen, but then the whole, how do I get a hold of them to walk them over there stopped me from doing that. It's the only other pen I have with a top enclosure to make sure they stay safe. More space, less number but bigger sized chickens.

They were/are under a trampoline fenced around with four foot chicken wire and it drug her out the top so probably a possum or coon

The hole it drug her through is to small

Foxes can fit into small spaces, just like a cat, if its head can fit through it then it can fit through it

make sure to bait the traps.

so a duck showed up today, it was a muscovy and it wasn't mine, um... it was really weird experience, because then after he got his fill he flew away, and i didn't know muscovies could fly like that. even though mine fly on a regular basis, anyway he should be back because of the girls and when he does i'm going to clip a wing, and take him to the vet or quarantine him.

oh my word. That is amazing. He's lucky he flew into your yard. Let us know upon his return.
