Some time yesterday something dug under the fence around my four coops and then tore into two coops. It ate maybe 3 young chickens, then mutilated some, but the strange thing is that when it got into the second coop, all it did was kill all the chickens -- it didn't eat or mutilate them -- just killed for the sake of killing. It had to be strong to open some of the doors it opened but it couldn't be too large or it wouldn't have fit into some of the spaces it got into. It did some heavy damage to one of the coops it couldn't get into so it must have been here for quite some time trying to get them all. I'm just sick. I don't know what to do or how to start over with new chickens. Can I even get chicks at this time of year? I had a variety of breeds. How do you go on after something like this?
