Was a carcass left? Could it of been a weasel or a hawk? I've seen a hawk p/u my rir (one of my best layers) just get picked up and taken away from me like a leaf in the wind. Two times. But I still let them loose when I can be out there with them. I've lost my dogs due to their age. And I don't feel like raising some dogs right now. I need some time from there passing too! What are they fenced in at night? I have them in a chain linked fence and there was a spot I never spotted for 4 years but 2 summers ago a 25 pd. raccoon found a 4 inch hole and squeezed himself threw! The 1st. day I went in my fav. girl was laying down with her eyes opened and when I got up to her she was opened up from her crotch to her rib cage. The inners were gone but she was still there. The 2nd night my son happen to hear the girls going crazy and he caught it with the pitch fork in that hole! This summer I had a bear get my best rooster I ever had! What we go threw for our loved ones!
