Gone without a trace

That being the case, safe to assume you are sitting on a good sized colony of rats.

Apparently enough to kill 35 chicks in one night and drag them off.

You have a BIG job in front of you. Time to remove the feed bins, pull up the pallets and take stock of you are up against.

We had 35 chicks disappear last night. We noticed a hole about 2 inches in diameter in the corner of their pen and some blood on the wall going into it...
There is another hole at the front of the barn but going in a totally opposite direction than the inside hole...
What could have gotten the chicks and how to I deal with the predator?

It could have been a skunk I had a skunk come in my coop and killed 26 duck without a trace no blood no nothing, they tend to kill in large quantities when they are teaching there young
