missing chickens, no sign of struggle

[Oliver Douglas]

Agreed, trap and kill. Otherwise, they will keep coming back, and for some reason their little buddies know what's what and will be back with the original little monsters in droves until they figure out who is the top predator on your property. Use Duke DP traps with a marshmallow as bait, they can't resist it. Cats and dogs can't get stuck in them...Do with their remains as you wish. Coonskin caps, anyone?
