    I do believe it was a dog, it makes sense to me. There was no stray hair to be found so no luck there. All the older hens and roosters survived so that also makes me believe dog. I feel if it was a wolf or coyote more adults would have died other than momma hen

    Found some tracks, I found two sets they came from the woods so I’m not sure about dogs. They seems a little big to be dogs but I could be wrong.The tracks are huge! Might make a call to DNR. I tried to get clear pictures.
