Hey, I have a little issue and I need some help. I’ve had chickens for 2.5 years and I’ve never had any issues with animals digging or getting in. I came home from a weekend trip the other day and found 12 of my chickens dead. All of them were headless. At first I thought raccoon but there were no holes big enough for a raccoon. Than I thought fox because we found a little digging hole so we filled that in. Last night we planted a little trap. I locked the hens up in their coop so nothing could get in there and I placed some chop meat in the run to test if anything got in and ate it. I woke up and all the meat was eaten but there is no digging and no disturbance to the run at all. I’m starting to think it’s a weasel that’s very small because it can get through the small holes in my gate. Has this happened to anyone and does anyone have any ideas of what it could be? I live on Long Island, NY and the weather is pretty hot here rn. I just really need to figure out what the animal is so I can take control of the situation quickly. Thanks!!
