So true! And we hope he doesn't notice new ones! We are on the hunt for something killing my babies. Got two of my lav silkies. Climbed the screened door and squeezed in the opening above it which was just a few inches. Tore off the heads. Ate one pretty good but left the body. I'm so upset! I thought they were safe. What would it be? Coon?
Nah, I've already told him so he knows to get busy building me another coop.
So sorry about your babies. It could be coons, weasles, mink or even skunks. Also big snakes will kill bantams even though they can't eat them so if you have cracks in the coop you might keep that in mind.
There was a few inch gap above the screened door. Whatever it was climbed up the screen. You can see a few rips. Must have crawled through that opening. Poor babies. You couldn't even tell the color of one of the silkies. I only know who it was because the numbered band was there.
