Staff at a Perth daycare have been left shaken after their beloved pet chickens were found beheaded earlier this week.

Educators at Jellybeans Childcare Centre in Charlotte's Vineyard Ellenbrook were heading into the chicken coop before they started their day at the centre on Monday when one staff member remarked the chickens seemed to be “sleeping”.

However, they soon realised two of the four chickens kept in the coop were missing – and the two they believed were sleeping had actually had their necks snapped and heads cut off.

It’s understood no blood was found inside the coop, which led staff to rule out the possibility of an animal attack.
