Oh man, I went out today to feed everyone and one roo is vanished.
He was in a pen with 2 other roos, all about 5 months old. The pen is made of heavy duty hardwire cloth. The holes are probably 1 inch wide, by 1/2 tall. It's closed on all sides, even underneath. The pen is still fastened and locked.
There are feathers on the outside of the pen, in a pile, with what looks like partially eaten grain from his crop or gizzard.
A few tiny feathers are still sticking to the wire, but the wire is not bent, or mangled. There isn't even any blood. There are lots of flies & bees scouting the feathered area, so I am guessing there WAS blood. There is nothing else. No bones, no feet, no nothing. I have no idea what (except for maybe a raccoon) would take the whole bird, and barely leave a sign. But I still can't figure out how it got a WHOLE ROOSTER out of a pen with wire that small & not leave parts of the bird, or damage the wire. :h
