Tonight I went to see Barry Manilow in concert. I decided I wanted to see the great singers in our time before they pass away. Well when I got home I found 7 chickens, a rooster and a guinea hen (male) dead in the pen. I am thinking it was a dog because there is no blood at all and it seems they were crushed because I could feel the broken bones when I picked them off the ground.
But what is bewildering me is the electric fences? The animal came in the yard and had to come in contact with them. Then there are the scare crow sprinklers which had to get the animal wet? Then there is the electric fence going around the pen. He was able to get around all 3 things without touching them? I am thinking it is one of the coyote puppies as the parents don't come near the property with my dogs scents everywhere. Then if it was a coyote why not even try to eat one chicken? It just killed them cause they were sleeping there. All the dead chickens are the large birds I have non of the ducks or bantams were touched. I even left the door open but I think one of the peas was perched on the open door and it closed when it got off the door leaving them outside. But then if the door was open the animal would've gotten them inside the shed and it could've been worse. I was selling the chicken eggs for the Children's Maricle Network too
now I have to stop cause I only have 4 chickens left
