URGENT: predator got in coop, killed 2 chickens and injured 2 others

You could try three or four days and see what happens. I wouldn’t let her out of my sight with them unless I sprayed her ouchies with Blukote, though.

Okay, thanks!

I don't know if anyone's still watching this thread, but if so, I just wanted to say that my chicken is doing well and I think she's mostly recovered. She's been in a closed off section of the coop for the past few weeks, but I think at this point it'd be safe to put her back with the others, I just haven't gotten to it yet. Thank you everyone for the advice, I don't know if she'd still be here if it weren't for you guys. Here's my most recent photo of her when I let her hang out with the flock supervised awhile back ago:

Hey y'all! It's been a year since the attack and she's still doing amazing! I just wanna say again, thank you so much to everyone who gave me advice, I don't think she would've made it without your help. Also her name's Taco.

Read all the way through your thread. I'm so happy Taco made it through her ordeal. Good job! BYC is such a great resource.

When did it happen? If while roosting...are the roosts are high enough to avoid predators or can you close the coop at night manually or auto. Was it outside during the day? is there an easy access to your run at dawn or dusk?

This is an old thread, I just updated on how the chicken is doing now. Everything's fine and nothing's gotten the birds since
