RIP My Girls

We had a bad night, 2 of my chickens were attacked by something last night. I woke to find only 4 of my girls greeting me at the gate. After further investigation I found 2 had been killed. I can only assume it was a fox or maybe a cat.

Our yard is very secure, however I don't lock the girls in at night. I like to let them free range as much as possible by leaving the door of their coop open for them to come and go as they please. I have had chickens for about 3 years now and never had a problem.

I will have to make some adjustments to make sure they are much safer.
