vanishing chicks

[hot springs]

We had seven half grown chicks disappear without a trace yesterday, and three last night. The last three were in a tight pen with a roof and double wired sides. I put our last four babies in a pen with the older ones last night trying to protect them.
There are no feathers. I found one body that was stuck in the fence. I think I found the problem. they are coming in between the wire at the top that joins with the building. It wasn't nailed good.
We moved the last chick into a cage until we can take care of this.

A game camera will let you know what's coming around at night, I couldn't believe what was in my suburban neighborhood until getting a camera.
