My young chickens 4-5 months old are being killed and eaten. At first they were being killed at nite but this afternoon one came up dead. Whatever it is is eating a lot of the chicken and is breaking the bones in the chicken and ripping out lots of feathers. It has not killed any turkeys or adult chickens. Also I am getting no eggs and I have not been getting any eggs since this started.

No signs of it digging in--I think it is climbing over the run. My airedale did come up sprayed by a skunk but we have had at least 1 skunk here for several years. This just started about 2 months ago.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Renee
 
I have a hot fence. I have never had anything try to go over but have had critters try to dig under. Once they touch the hot wire they don't come back for more...
