I had an issue with a bobcat. One night it killed 14 birds. It dug under the fence. I put some traps inside the fence where it had dug a couple of nights before and caught it. it made the mistake of coming back. After that I put up electric wires around my coops and pens. I have seen another bobcat on a game camera since but it hasn't bothered my birds but if it does I will eliminate it too.
