Or rather, another one gotten bitten.
There was a chicken kerfuffle this morning. This is not odd. They are chickens. They kerfuffle every time one of them lays an egg. And then there is the constant rooster rape.
I eventually looked outside and saw nothing. So, went back to my breakfast. I'd let the chickens out, fed them, the usual. They are free range, not fenced.
Then, as I went down the hill to the car I see a bunch of feathers! Red ones. FROM A GOOD LAYER! Damn and blast. I found the carcass. dead, not gutted, ripped open or anything gross. Neck snapped. That is a canine type kill. Either a neighbor dog or a wild canine.
So, time to fence the chickens in for at least a while I guess. And get a game cam so I know what I'm up against.
If eggs weren't so expensive I wouldn't mind much losing a free chicken but the finance balance has changed now.
