I looked out into my coop this morning to see the chickens' waterer had fallen over. I went outside to fix it and noticed feathers everywhere in the run and one of my chickens dead in the corner. One of her legs was pulled under the coop and was mostly eaten, but her feet were intact. I can't find any tracks because it was raining, but there seems to be a small blood trail leading up to the top of the run where the fencing isn't finished. Her head and crop are intact and don't have any noticeable wounds, but I think her insides were eaten. I'm also not too sure when it occurred because I irresponsibly left the coop door open into the run last night. My one other chicken is really broody right now and is ok, still just sitting in one of the nesting boxes. I also found a destroyed small white egg outside of the coop right next to where my chicken's leg was sticking out. My chickens lay brown eggs so I'm not sure where this egg came from or what it could mean. Could it be that it was an underdeveloped egg that was in my girl's tract? I need to figure out what it was that got my sweet girl so that I can get rid of it and prevent this from happening again!
