I have to chicken coop houses. They both have a small outdoor run that is completely enclosed and no predators can get in there, and from there I can open up a door, and then they all can run out to the larger. Run area which has grass and everything else but is I thought, pretty well to protected. I can't find any way that an animal would have dug under it as there are no holes. The only 2 possibilities I can come up with is that it's either our rooster or one of my cats. So as I mentioned, there are 2 large outdoor runs that do not have a cover over them and has a fence down the middle of them. Like a really large square and a has. A fence down the middle. So the rooster is on one side, and he mainly hangs out there, said the first bird that was killed was on that side with the rooster and the there were a couple of feathers and it was bitten underneath the neck, pretty open, and that was it. She was there by the bird coop, and all the other birds were just outside, playing like nothing happened, I know, in the past they would have run into their chicken coops and have stayed on their ledges, but we have the coop more protected than ever now. So yesterday, on the other side of the bird coop, there was another attack, and it was under her neck area. No feathers missing she was lying there, and all the other birds were just playing outside as well, like nothing happened. So either the rooster jumped over the fence in the middle, which he can do, or our outside cats did it. He climbs up the fence and jumps on the roof, and he can then drop down into the outdoor uncovered area of the coop. He's done it many times and he looks like he has wanted to play with them but has not done it when i've been outside in that area with them.
What do you think it is? Thank you
