Chicken vanished, hawk?

Well there is a stray cat, it chewed up my cat's leg so bad I had to send him to the vet to remove an abscess that formed. I had intentions to shoot it, but it's a cat and I like cats, plus I don't know where it came from. I would hate to shoot somebody's beloved pet.
I saw both that cat and the coyote yesterday, I think I'll set up a trail cam. I've got coon issues too, but my dogs killed a litter of coon pups and the adults seemed to move on after that. Thankfully they stick to the usual racoon habits.

I would definitely use trail cams. I hope you get it figured out and although I like cats too, I do NOT have any tolerance for one that kills my birds.

If it appears on that camera more than once a week it will be a dead cat. I've had enough problem with other people's pets harming animals on my property. Sorry about your birds

Thanks, of course you KNOW it took everyone's favorite little easter egger first. Then it got my Whitings True Blue that survived some crazy disease as a pullet (only to be cat food). I guess that cat does not like blue eggs. Now I have to wait for my Creambars to start laying!

Of course, nasty predators always know everyone's favorite
I've sadly had to make a "favorites" pen, because I can't stand the thought of one of my special babies being torn to pieces by a predator. They just aren't as happy as my free rangers, which is why I still free range

I don't even free range and still have predation. And I live in the suburbs!

That's ridiculous! Persistent predators everywhere

That is the problem with having pets that everything wants to eat!
