In my opinion the worst chicken killer is...

the MINK! About a month ago I came home from school and couldn't find my chickens. I saw my Turken dead by the side of the shed. I looked under the shed and there was a pile of dead chickens. That darn thing killed 10 of my chickens. It killed my Game Chickens, two sumatras, and my turken hen! I set a trap and caught the viscous thing! If you find your chickens heads ripped off or just a few holes around the neck, i'd say you have a mink.

Unfortunately chickens are found to be delicious by most carnivores

Glad you caught it....although it may not be the only one. I would reset the trap just in case. Mink have an unquenchable thirst for blood. They've been known to wipe out large flocks in one feeding frenzy. Unlike most animals, they will kill even when NOT hungry.

Totally agree. Plus they don't need much of a hole to get through to cause havoc.

I have had 3 mink attacks in 3 years. With one of the attacks filled up 3 garbage bags full of birds.

I set the trap over and over and I haven't caught a think. I have pictures and videos of the little nasty.
Here he is!

I hope you dispatched it appropriately.
