Until today, we had one rooster and 6 hens in one coop. The coop is inside a chain link kennel and the kennel has blocks around the base and chicken wire around the chain link about three feet up. The top of the kennel has rows of chicken wire across it to protect the chickens from hawks. In addition, to protect the birds from the neighbors, we have a padlock on the door to the kennel. It is virtually predator and escape proof...so we thought. I went out to feed them today and they are all gone except the rooster. His feathers are everywhere (there are a few hen feathers but they are mostly his) and he is lying dead with his body hollowed out. The lock is still locked, the chicken wire is in place and although it looks like something tried to dig around the kennel close to where the carcass is, nothing dug under and the chain link and the chicken wire are untouched. What happened? Has anyone else ever experienced this?
