Something Not Right

So about 2 months ago. I come home from work. I see a hen loose. I have a row of 4x4 dome pens lined up. I had 2 yellow legged pullets in one pen. This pen has a 10x8 door. I use 2 brass dog latches to lock it. I go to pen to see if she dug under to get out, but no. I look and one of the dog clips is off. I could not figure it out. So my son helped me ketch her and I forgot about it.

Now this Teusday I get rained out. About 10 am I go out to feed chickens. The 4x4 row of dom pens is the end of my feeding rotation. That same pen both latches are off and the door is pushed in to close it.
Monday night across the street I hear Big Pappas dog going nuts at night. So I see Big Pappas son across street with a rooster in his hand. I go over and ask if he tried to go in that dome pen. He said no but one of his fly pens was open with the last pair of yellow leg MacLeans in it. Then he tells me. All the yellow legged hens have disappeared. Then he tells me a year or two ago. He told a couple cockers. That if they get any of there MacLean hens to come yellow. They are the best producers.
Anyways I have none of the old mans Hatch. My pullets they were trying to get are Jerinzanos. They would have been like what the heck with these 4lbs cocks.
Anyways I took measures
