    Murder Mystery, what killed my chicks??????

    Moot point now, the rest of my birds were killed the next day within 30 minutes of me being gone in the middle of the day :-( my friend around the camera lost her flock the next day in the same way, but she has a trail cam in her run and so she knows her culprit is a young bobcat

    Murder Mystery, what killed my chicks??????

    That's what i thought, they were all very big (may have been close to 9 weeks I picked them up from my local feed store and they had a mix of 1-2 weeks olds that i picked from) and my full grown chicken and ducks i thought would be a deterrent to something small like a rat.

    Are they common in the South? I live in the southeast, I'd heard of locals having problems with opossums and coyotes but never weasels

    I don't - it is right by my house(like literally it backs up to my bedroom window with fencing on the other three sides) with nothing else around it and my yard is all open no shrubbery in a neighborhood. We a in a more country setting, but I can't say i've ever seen a coon out here, lost of...
