We’ve lost half our chickens in the last few days. Kevin keeps finding dead ones in their run, in the Martin (a corn crib we let them into during the day), and in their new and old pen. Then this morning, we found two more, IN THEIR HOUSE! Whatever it is that is attacking them is fairly clever and pretty small. We thought we had their house all locked up.
We have little gates everywhere that are closed, their main pen has wire all over the top of it… At this rate, we’re going to have to start buying eggs at the store. Ick.
I hope you figure it out-I now its no fun and too expensive to buy eggs!
Love the new look of your blog-the banner is very neat.
Yikes! I’d be livid. It’s so much work to get them old enough to fare on their own…and then to have something get them. I’m so sorry! I hope you figure out how to stop this.
I mentioned to my dh that maybe stringing a hot wire around the perimeter of the coop would be a good idea. Do you think something is digging under? That’s crazy that it’s finding a way in. Could be a rat, but you’re finding whole chickens, right?
So sorry!
I figured it out! I didn’t have the compose mode on! So that’s why I didn’t have the html button! I just happened upon that now…cool.
