I have, had 32 chickens, found one dead yesterday, another one today. Their back end was eat out. Anyone have any idea what it could be? My husband is sitting over there right now with his gun, hoping it will come back

from Ohio. So glad to have you aboard. So sorry for your loss. It sounds to me like a weasel. They will be very small teeth marks on the body. Hawks usually grab the neck first. You may want to invest in a infared game cam to see what is coming around. Good luck.
