Jay went out to check on the chickens this morning and found three dead in the coop - something had got at them - killed them in the coop but not eating them - I can't look - I stood in the yard balling like a baby - what if it had been my cat ? or dog ? what the hell got to them ? I'm still crying but I have dog and cat close. It's a bloody mess out there that the boy is dealing with and I feel bad that I can't help - I can't see it.

Oh, I'm so sorry. Keep your kitties and puppies inside just in case. I would guess racoon, but you never know, it could be something bigger. Be careful yourself.
awwww.
i am so sorry to read this.
in nh, there are creatures called fishercats or fishers (a form of a polecat), could it be one of those?
i would be crying, too.
Do you get mink or foxes there?
Sorry about the hens. Losing livestock is never easy. We have no predators where we live (apart from my dogs) so the hens manage to drop dead all by themselves.
*Knock, knock* Hello? How are you, did you figure out what was the chicken culprit?
