How heartbreaking for you. Are your chickens free range then? (which is what I wanted to do , but I'm getting afraid of predetors like hawks and four leggers)

It likely was a coon. And, it likely will be back for more meals. I would set a havahart trap and bait it with marshmallows. Be sure to stake it down well. If you catch it, just drop it into a barrel of water or shoot it.

Thank you all for your replys it does help!

We had alot of rain last night and nothing set off my traps!!! So tonight should be the night if I am going to catch anything, we had a light snow today so it should be good and hungry!! The mugg will not drown, it will be with the grace of god if I dont tear it apart myself. Actually I will dispose of it like all other shovel cutting the head off! If it is a coon then I will drown it, not taking the chance of it getting away!

My chickens are only free ranged when I am out with them, all of them come when I call them to go in the coop no matter what time of the day! The 2 ee and moonbeam ( also a ee) flew out of the pen even with their wings cut!

Lets hope I get him (them), my neighbors dog has killed 13 since Oct. (possums).
