Hello, I am new to having chickens. Well about a month ago I had my first flock, I had 9. One night one of them disappeared but we saw no tracks left behind or even feathers of anything getting it. Than the next night my entire flock was killed. But this time it had freshly snowed so we saw all the tiny tracks. My husband went to check on the chickens and saw that some were dragged out into the field from the coop and some were lined up, but all were missing their heads. For the past month I have been trying to catch this mink and I have had no luck. We set out a cage trap with chicken, we have a conibear trap now and we have tried it with deer guts (my husbands idea) and last night I made a fish paste. It didn’t even attempt to come close to the trap. Now I have done a bit of research and know they are suspicious creatures so I think my trap placement is too obvious. We live in the middle of cornfields and we hardly have any trees or shrubbery. How do I blend the trap in more? And better yet what is the best bait to have for the night in freezing temps? I have been thinking about placing trail cameras as well. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you
