Not sure if he got in before the door went down or he pushed it up. I have lost 7 grown birds lately. No sign of tracks not a bunch of feathers showing a struggle. 🤷‍♂️

I decided to check it at 2 am one night after returning from drinking. You can fire a 12 gauge 4 feet from a roosting Chicken, and they won't even move. I literally caught the Possum reaching up for their feet as I entered. Had to explain to nearby neighbor who no doubt thought I was crazy.
