Andrew and I went out late to close up the chickens. We had gone out to dinner, leaving the chickens foraging in the larger yard. We noticed a problem right away ... the door to the chicken coop was closed. It wasn't latched, simply closed, but that meant the chickens could not get in to go to roost.
We used head lamps and worked together to find them in the dark. Most of the hens were in the barn, and a couple were sleeping on top of the chicken wire covered "safe" zone. But one was missing. Andrew found her dead behind the chicken coop. She had been pecked to death ... victim of bird attack. Hawk? Owl?
