    One chicken killed every day - picture of predator's footprints included. Help identifying?

    Unfortunately that is not true. It may be less common for them to hunt in the day but it does happen. I didnt realize how dangerous skunks were to a flock and let skunk family around the house flourish..The large male skunk killed my large rooster King mid day. King survived two fox attacks in...

    One chicken killed every day - picture of predator's footprints included. Help identifying?

    I found this in google images...do any of these tracks match? There is also a house cat track. Youve seen the tracks in person so you may be able to identify better than myself at this point. http://bonkersycarax.blogspot.com/2010/12/trek-and-tracks.html

    One chicken killed every day - picture of predator's footprints included. Help identifying?

    I kinda lean away from the cat theory only because I see my cats tracks all over the farm in the snow and they just dont match up...my cats tracks have such little round toes and their palm pads are little round balls....from the pic which is hard to see in general, it looks like a very wide paw...

    One chicken killed every day - picture of predator's footprints included. Help identifying?

    theyre clear yet not clear enough :-/ I wonder how much those game cameras cost? If they arent outragous and you continue to have a problem it might be worth looking into? Or even just putting out one of those friendly traps and catching whatever it may be. I dont use anything but friendly traps...

    One chicken killed every day - picture of predator's footprints included. Help identifying?

    I cant really tell, how many toes do the tracks have? if its 4 toes it not a skunk, although they do love ground bees! Ive been googling tacks in the snow per dif names of predators...doesnt appear to be skunk or raccoon. Closest I see is a fox so far...

    One chicken killed every day - picture of predator's footprints included. Help identifying?

    Kind of seems like the tracks are in a waddling pattern, perhaps a young skunk? Ive had bad luck with skunks here. Cant see the track well enough tho to be of any good help :-/ Have you seen skunks around your yard?

    Do Cats Eat Chickens?

    I never really thought about it...funny thing about my cat - hes a hunter by nature, he spends hours out on the farm hunting, he brings home mice all summer long...on the flip side...we have smaller pets in our house, at one time a hamster, my lizard, fishes..he does nothing to them..he watches...

    Not using the perches

    ...be a year old in April...I gave them some things to roost on but since they were itty bitty yellow fluffy babies theyve chosen to group together and curl up in a little ball in the hay on the floor of their pen. Not sure if this is normal lol? but it seems to work for them *shrugs shoulders*...

    How many years will I get eggs?

    Great info, thanks everyone! I'll probably continue to use the suppliment light until it warms up to keep them cozy, I live in Maine and this is one of the coldest winters we've had in years. Luckily we may get an early Spring! I have three hens currently, when the last hen no longer lays I'll...

    My Golden Comet girls are going to be a year old in April...they've been laying eggs since they were about 4 months old and have not stopped, so theyve been laying for about 8 months straight.
