I don’t know what it is with our house but all our chicken attacks happen during the day. Today, at around 5 o clock and in the complete daylight, something killed three of our hens and injured another. One hen was missing with only feathers left, the other was down in the woods, and the third was in the backyard, all death scenes fairly spread out. Does anyone have any clue what would kill my hens in the daylight, and leave two? Not only that, the chickens were fairly intact, and the two I found left seemed to have had their necks snapped and only a few small bleeding marks. It seems that broken necks were what killed them.
Even if you cannot give me information on what killed them, I do want to take a moment to tell you about my hen that died today. She was the family favorite, and her name was Pants. She was the sweetest, slowest, chunkiest, dumbest hen you’d ever meet, and she was the only hen I ever knew who loved to cuddle. She was most known for sprawling out in the mulch for dust baths. Im very grateful for the year and a half I was given with her, and I hope you all get to experience a hen as wonderful as she was.
