Since adult chickens attack baby chicks that are not theirs, I had to separate them into a new place. Unfortunately, the new place was not as secure as the old one, and "something" (probably Egyptian Mongoose, known here as Saca-rabos) maybe more than one, managed to catch them. The rooster's feathers were all over and away from the chicken pen, so he probably put up a reasonable fight, but the feathers of the chickens were all together in the same place.
The old place is very solidly fenced, and has a wire mesh roof, so no predator can get in and no chicken can get out (they did that before I had the roof, and I lost two other chickens because of that). The mother-hen that was hatching my babies has been returned to her previous owner, my front neighbour, and I am now the proud caretaker of five healthy "teenage" chicks :)
