Hello everyone,
I currently have 8 cinnamon queen hens and a rooster. I am pretty new to keeping chickens- I've had mine for around 2 months. 2 nights ago, when I went to let the chickens out, their feeder was knocked over and emptied. Last night, I put their feeder in the coop to prevent it from being eaten from again. the coop has the area with nesting boxes, and a small extension. I put the feeder in this little expanded area. I woke up to see the coop like this. The extension wasn't attached to the coop. All of the chickens were fine, and none were injured. The run is an old greenhouse frame wrapped with construction safety fence, and it had a tear in it big enough to fit maybe a small bear? I live in eastern Oklahoma, and there aren't a ton of bears around here. Any idea what could have done this? I've had no problems with predators at all, just this.
Edit: The feed was all gone this morning as well.
