| | We lost two chickens yesterday. I went down about 1:00 to give them some scraps and one was missing. I only counted 14, but I didn't see any signs of the missing pullet. When Corey got home at 2:30, there were feathers all over the pen and another one was missing.
He went into the pen and found one half eaten and another with it's head gone. The one with the missing head was in a pile of leaves. Because it was brown, it was the same color as the leaves. The fence didn't seem disturbed, so we think a fox must have gotten under it. Both Corey and I probably interrupted a meal.
Because we wanted them to free range, we have a movable fence that can be relocated to different parts of the lot. They have about 1200 sq feet of grass to scratch around in. We need to think of a way to make the fence more secure.
