We have quite a few chickens and since we have problems with coyotes and bobcats we lock them up at night in the hen house.
Twice, we've had a hen setting on eggs, and one day there are eggs under her and the next morning when we go to open the hen house door for them all the eggs are gone.
We've searched for holes where something could get in, but couldn't even find a hole big enough for an egg to squeeze back out.
There's no mess, or evidence that the eggs have been broken and eaten inside the hen house.
Whatever it is doesn't seem to bother the chickens.
We live in the foothills east of Fresno California. Any ideas on what it could be?
Thanks,
Debra
