Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

An eagle, or fox might have snagged one of your chickens, & ran off/flew away with it.

We do have foxes, but no eagles. Would a fox leave any feathers?

She actually enjoyed getting colored. She almost fell asleep during the dying process a couple times.

Well that's great . They're cool looking when colored but I didnt think they liked it.

I can't help but wonder if that voting is slightly rigged...this whole thread is chuckleworthy in all the best ways. I'm not exactly a Silkie fan but due to my wife and daughter we will be having some come spring. I do like their broodiness, and I have seen some roos that rule their little roost!!

No. My poll is not rigged.

Ok so I had a situation like yours a year or so ago only the hen was snatched during the day. We couldn’t find any trace of her. So I hopped over the fence and so did my mum we searched everywhere and then we found a pile of feathers over the fence. My point is it is possible that that a fox has snatched the hen and taken her to the den and de-feathered there.
