@flypen That female looks pretty alert. do you have any veterinary friends that may try to repair that for you? You won't have long without hydration.

No sir, I wasn't able to save her.

Sorry to hear that.

Sorry to hear that.

I checked that pen for any broke wire that could've been the cause, I couldn't find any reason until I realized she roosted against the side the door is on. That would have allowed a critter to pull her off the roost.

@roosterhavoc I pulled the trigger on a Mora HD companion for bout the same price as this schrade old timer I have been using this season I don't think I can go wrong. I'll post both when they get here again thanks for the advice.

I imagine it was a possum and yes he called a couple hours ago and offered me 2 hens, I told him just one for now. I still have to get rid of a pest. I'm going down to his place Saturday to help get a show ready to be put up.

You’ll like it. For the money they’re great. They come with a plastic sheath with a little drain hole in the bottom. Nothing fancy but totally serviceable. Moras come the sharpest I’ve seen. The only reason they are so cheap is because they pump out millions of them a year. Technically for around $20 it could probably do everything you need a knife to do for the rest of your life but you’ll buy more I bet. Lol

@flypen that kind of damage does sound more like a coon especially actively trying to get to a bird inside a pen. I have a possum living under my shed. 5 ft away from roosted birds in the trees. He don’t even bother them. I kill em if I have a gun handy lol
I’ve only had one possum attack a chicken and she was sleeping on the ground inside the wood line. Everything else has been a fox, raccoon or hawk. I don’t know about owls. No proof from them.
I have trapped so many raccoons the past few years it’s crazy. Haven’t set a trap yet this season and no issues so far. Hawks are starting to come through though.

We shall see I think I will, I may have a leather Sheath round here that may fit it if I don't like the plastic. Should be here soon the seller is just down the mountain bout 30mins in wilkesboro.
