condolences for your loss.
I am located in Illinois. I’m not sure if there’s fishers around here, they look more dog like going off of the pad. I will put up my live trap tommorow. Thanks for the advice.
Thank you so much. It really means a lot to me in this difficult time. And to make matters worse, sadly most people don’t understand how hard these losses are. I’m glad I’m part of a community that understands what I’m dealing with. I tried to talk to my friends but they don’t get it. I actually had someone tell me “deal with it... it’s not the end of the world. There’s always another one.” These two Pekins came from my original ducks that I owned for about 4-5 years before they were killed by a predator 1 year ago. I hatched them from the refrigerated eggs 3 weeks after my ducks were killed. I am grateful that the others are ok, but her sister is going to be very lonely.Im so sorry. I just want to hug you.
I hope you catch it. Fox, maybe?
Thanks, me too. Could have been but I haven’t seen any foxes around here lately. I forgot to mention in my original post that my yard has a 7ft chain link fence around it.
I caught the booger on a game camera. I would definitely get a game camera if you can. I later caught him in a live trap. I live in KY, so I have some of the same predators you do. I don’t think it’s a fox because foxes leave little trace. A coyote or a dog could very well be possible. Although with that tall fence a raccoon is likely because a dog or coyote isn’t likely to climb that.
Thanks for the reply. I am definitely going to get a game camera for by their house but it’s hard because I live on 5 acres so it wouldn’t show my whole yard unless I got multiple. There is a spot in my front yard where the fence gaps ( By my driveway) so it could have come through there.I had a coon get 7 of my mallards one time
You will need multiple cameras. Get a 2-4 pack if you can.Thanks for the reply.

sorry for your loss by the way.
Ok thanks. Any good suggestions?
