I would think snake also, but it got 7 chicks in the space of a few hours! Even if it could find a way in, it never could have made it out with 7 chicks in its belly by the time we noticed them missing. We had snake issues last summer, so we snake proofed the coop and run pretty well! I also went through and reinforced everything before I put the babies in. No missing eggs either.i would guess snake, if its hanging around itl be back ..if your egg count has been low its probably eating those to ... but ive seen other scenarios in my time, youd be surprised how tenacious even a housecat is, itl just hang there and snatch them as they go by if it can get a paw under there, so will alot of other predators ... i adopted one all encompassing rule - if its hanging around the coop its up to no good and getting blasted, end of story ..
