I woke up to the worst thing this morning...

[SterlingSilver]

I've been to australia. Could be wrong but I'm 99% sure there's no coons there.

I've never been their. Know any native creatures there that have the behaviors of coons? If its not a raccoon, it might be a fox. I've heard of them popping their heads and using their paws a little to pry open a loose door.

They don't have foxes. They have dingoes though, which are more like a coyote dog cross. A domestic stray dog or cat could be a culprit.

So sorry for your loss!

 

[SterlingSilver]

Ah okay. Sounds like a dingo. I've never gone to any other country than Canada.So my knowledge on other places is limited. I also know i used "their" wrong.

Also you speak to 1 of our members Teila. They're from Forrest Beach, maybe this person can help, just a suggestion

 

[Mama Runner]

I'm so sorry for your lost, big hugs

 

[Ruralhideaway]

That's so sad. Just rotten timing with their usual house smashed. Very sorry.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. It's heartbreaking to lose all your chickens, and so suddenly. Dogs and feral cats come to mind as possible culprits. Are there bite or scratch marks around the door that pried open? Prying a door open sounds like something a human would do, but it doesn't sound likely that a human would attack the chickens such that feathers would be strewn about.

I’m so sorry for your loss! Sounds like it would have to be a pretty saavy predator with thumbs and fine motor skills to do that. Not sure what specific predators lurk in Australia though. Hope you can find some peace in knowing you’re not alone
