You know there's something wrong when you go out to the chicken pen and there's a vulture sitting on that back tall fence. Then, another vulture flies up as you walk towards the chicken yard.
Sure enough, the vultures were after TWO chicken carcasses - I found the third one later. Sometimes death comes quickly to the chicken yard and it's usually easy to guess what it might be....
...Skunks don't usually eat chickens - just the eggs.
Opposums usually eat only the chicken's head.
Raccoons eat everything.
We, thankfully, haven't had experience with rats, weasels, or bears. (My neighbor had a bear tear apart his chicken coop and kill six chickens - all that was left were piles of feathers and a lot of building damage!)
Something had eaten almost the entire chickens and I was pretty sure it was a raccoon. We put out two live traps - one in the chicken pen and the second in the turkey pen...
...the next morning
Rocky Raccoon will be relocated far, far away from everyone!
