This is all that is left of three blue Ameraucana hens and a guinea fowl. This happened sometime last night. They were drug from their coop, killed, and eaten. My pens are very secure but I found one small spot that could be an entry/exit point. It is so small I am fearful this is the work of a weasel. Weasels are extremely bad as they can get into the smallest space and kill everything. I have moved the remaining hens and rooster into another coop. Hopefully we will be able to catch the culprit. :( Thankfully my sweet BlueBelle was unharmed as well as one of my old lady lavender Ameraucana hens I've had for years. But losing three barely year old hens (and a guinea) to a predator is a hard pill to swallow.
On a HAPPIER note: Helen is setting again! She doesn't know it yet, but she will be raising TURKEYS! :)
awww I feel bad for those poor babies :<
