Hang a few fresh chicken feathers between the two traps Check local laws about exposed bait first Good advice on some level . . .to add to that, I would say : Setting a baited set too close to live prey, may be ignored, as the predator becomes focused on it's 'target'. Finding out the ENTRY / EXIT point is where I would try to focus. If you can use feathers, use them. Plucking e dead bird, if you have it, works. So does the insides of an old feather pillow. I have used it a lot to my advantage. If you can not use it AT THE SET . . . how close can you use It ? A 2 ft. circle of feathers near a dirt hole set will draw a lot of attention. My first question . . . and important to this whole story line, should be : How are the chicken housed or kept at night ?
