Not again...

Just last week, DH and I were outside working around the chicken coops. My chickens were free ranging. We went up to the house and ate some lunch, came back out to work and found a dead pullet in the run - headless. It was pulled to a corner of the coop. Moved the carcass and found where something had tunneled in. Because the head was eaten, we guessed mink. We put the carcass in a live trap, and sure enough there was a mink in the live trap the next morning.

Hmmm I live in a subdivision in Northern KY. I know we have skunks. Not sure about minks or weasels.

Other than covering the run any other things we can do/set out for keeping hawks away?

That's all you really need.
