We went camping this weekend so we left plenty of food and water in the run and the coop open and let the chickens fend for themselves. From Friday night to Sunday eve.
Ok we get home last night and I go to check the food and water. They still had water so thats good. The hens and roos are all in the coop and its not quite dark yet. YEA I was hoping they would start this.
One feeder was empty and disassembled and its a two piece one that TSC sells. Its top part was laying to the side and just crumbs scattered around. So I open the coop and start grabbing birds and putting them in the yard, counting them.
I got one missing, its a roo, no feathers, nothing. So this comes to the question.............
Tell me a predator that would kill 1 chicken and then eat all the chick starter out of the feeder?
I think its a weird, why would only one bird be missing. <shrug>
