[QUOTE="mrsmojos, post: 9276798, member: 161311"] Hiyah, can anyone advise on an issue that has occurred these last few months please? We had 4 indian runner drakes and 5 hens and they were free ranging around the back yard since last spring, then one of us would pop out to lock them in for the night. But a few months ago 2 hens were snatched - no trail of blood or feathers - just gone! This was around evening time before they were locked up, so we put in a solar door that slides open at sunrise and slides down at sunset so they could tuck themselves in...problem solved we thought but nope. Again another 2 hens have just gone! We now have 4 drakes and 1 hen. We're in a dilemma now because do we keep them in a secure fenced pen, where they would be gutted to lose their space, or leave them roaming? Also, what do you think is doing it? And why only the hens? So bizzare!! Thank you in advance for all your advice. [/QUOTE]
