1 dead chicken only neck eaten today

I couldn't spend the night in the field I have my day job today, but we are taking turns and one of the farm hands slept in a truck parked next to the turkeys , that being about 250 yards from the chickens

I think we are fighting a multi fronted attack very possible that it is an owl , cats , a weasel and a fox.

there was one foot hold in a dirt hole set near a corner post of the fence where there was sprung DP's the night before but that trap was dug up and unsprung this morning

with the number of coon traps out the only thing I think it might not be is coon, but I wouldn't completely rule that out.

working on borrowing a game cam.

Sounds like you're dealing with multiple predators, especially considering how far apart the pens are.

3 cameras out and confirming coons were definitely part of the problem 3 coons down more to get.

have weasel boxes out around the chickens also but it may have just been the coons

DP's haven't caught a thing 2 box traps and a 1.75 foot hold have taken the 3 coon.

getting another box trap and some more steel out tonight
