The cat in the photo is a 12lb tom

The 18lb one was a mixed breed and the 14lb one was a Liege Fighter, he was 32 inches tall :)

I was surprised our goats haven't been bothered, especially since theyre fainters. What do coyotes sound like, like wolves? I need to check YouTube about that and foxes. We heard some "yip yip ooooo" sounds one night just south of my house out in the corn. Lots of yipping, like several...

We decided to burn the barn down and build a new, purpose built chicken biilding so nothing can get in. (This is a 100yr old hog building they've been living in.) That will happen this weekend. Starting now the chickens and cats will all be caged during its construction and so I will use that...

I'm sorry about your birds, it is strange how they target the good ones, like our favorites taste better to them somehow :/ My camera caught nothing last night but the live trap in the barn was triggered yet empty. I think the roosterhavoc person is right, I'm going to have to get snares or...

The big roosters who I believe were somehow discouraging the predators one died of an illness and fight with another rooster. The second I put him down because after he contributed to that roos death, he started attacking us. They were 14 and 18lbs. My surviving roos and the 2 who have been...

It just struck me as odd it began as soon as the big 2 roosters died. Perhaps I give them too much credit. But it was the only thing that changed around here between peace and disaster. How about men and male animals urinating around the area as a deterrent. Is that a real thing? Should we...

Fake crying, thank you very much. And again the cat is huge and the dead bird was a couple pounds tops, plus missing parts so no different than a newspaper spanking honestly. What's you're deal, nothing good to troll on Facebook or what?

And I thought I was prepared! Apparently I was not and my roosters had just been doing their job really well. Very frustrating. Especially having to deprive everyone of their freedom now. I have chickens named Django and William Wallace, oh the irony

I yelled at a cat. Is this abuse? This particular cat is an intolerable, chick eating butt-wagon who I took in out of pity if it matters

I apparently need to clarify that my birds free range about 10am to 7pm and are in pens inside a building the rest of the time. This is the first year we've had problems

They are all being locked up in the big barn starting tomorrow, poor things

It's now about 730pm and we have lost a rooster within the last few hours. He was a fibromelanistic Olive Egger we hatched in January and his name was Chubby Checker. No feathers or sign of a struggle were found, we spent over an hour looking over the property and saw nothing.

I can put the cats in the house and garage on nights we try this. Thank you for the tips

What about setting bait, waiting and blowing its head off? Maybe I watch too much cartoons, but it seems a reasonable idea. I'm a good shot at the distance from say the garage to the middle of the yard. My husband can shoot an arrow well at 100 yards. But we shoot targets and cans and possums...

I'm not sure how wise anything other than a live trap would be with cats, goats and small children here? The overwhelming majority of kills have been fluffy egglayer types. Ameracurana, Bresse, Jersey Giant, Brahama etc. The majority of survivors are Asil, Malay, the random bred game types...

I have 3 large live traps my friend, baited and set every night with varying baits including chicken. We caught a possum and our own cats so far. Our cats even went for marshmallows. There is a pen set up as a trap in the barn. It contains a disabled hen who limps or a small rooster who take...

That is the issue I'm having,nothing fits. I did catch a raccoon on camera, but nothing died that day and he was very small maybe 4lbs. I gave away 3 good hunting cats who were large and strong enough to do this, but the kills continued and now I have rats again. The remaining cat has been...

The multiple kills on one occasion all were eaten, one broody hen and her newborn chicks and a dozen chicks about a month old. On the other multiple kill occasions one or a few were eaten and the rest left behind. The most recent multiple kill, an entire pen of beautiful 3 month old grow outs...

I'm not positive it is tracks, just looked like it may be so I posted the photo for anyone experienced in those things. I have seen dog like tracks early this summer the size of a collies foot, slender but definitely canine about 3x3.5 inches.
