I know I've posted about this before but now I'm absolutely sure the chickens are killing each other. I need some help. We spent the weekend filling in any tiny hole a rat could get through. I removed all the babies from the coop. I check on them before bed and everyone is roosting. Then I check on the when the sun is just coming up in the morning and all is well. Then I come home from work and BAM! dead adult chicken in the coop. What is going on? Do I have one aggressive hen that starts it then the others join in? My coop is huge for the number of chickens I have in there, the have food, fresh water and forage. They're otherwise perfectly healthy. Also, the hens are dead in relatively the same place every time. AND the one I just found dead was fresh. That tells me they're doing it during the day.
I have kind of an aggressive hen so I've put her by herself to see what happens. Otherwise I'm at a loss.
Any ideas? Please help!!!
