THEY'RE GONE! I CHECKED EVERYTHING. THE LATCH ON THE COOP WAS SHUT THE SAME WAY I LEFT IT. NO HOLES OR GAPS IN THE PERIMETER. NO BLOOD OR CARNAGE. NOTHING. THEY'RE GONE. WTF. I AM LITERALLY FREAKING OUT.

yeah no. unfortunately it's a pretty small and simple coop. it was easy to verify nothing was unchecked or out of place.Whoops I just saw that this is in the quail section. And quail don't roost.
What type of pen were they in?And if everything still looks perfectly normal, then suspect predators of the two-legged variety.
two sides were plywood. two sides were chicken wire and mesh. the bottom was just chicken wire so poop could fall through. the roof was chicken wire and mesh. i had four birds yesterday.What type of pen were they in?
yeah, i thought of rats, but there would be no way for them to not leave at least a small amount of carnage. you couldn't fit a quail skeleton through chicken wire without leaving something behind. i seriously doubt they were killed in the coop, and they were too fat to fit through the chicken wire, dead or alive.Don't rule out rats. They can get into some tight places. I found out the hard way that 1/2" X 3" sturdy mesh won't stop them. Though, I do think rats leave more of a mess than what you described.
