One a day now all my ladys are gone.

I am so sorry for your loss. So glad you are going to put the roo in safety. Hope you catch the evil one. Your son is adorable. Good luck.

I see a duck in the photo. If you still have ducks, they will also have to be protected. Mink will kill them too. As will GHO or many of the other predators which tend to eat the head first.

we gave the ducks away as they were eatign to many fish

Less than 2 weeks ago lost 20 birds in 2 nights to a mink. Sent my remaining girls away to live with a chicken friend.

Caught the mink last weekend! See thread "very sad day UPDATE - Thanks all!" for our experience and some trapping ideas for a live trap.

My 2 remaining young roos are going into a heavy dog crate at night for now.

Come Spring, we will re-do our whole set-up to make it more predator proof.

I'm so very sorry... I know just how you feel.

does a mink eat eggs?

For the heck of it i put an egg out in the coup and sure enough this mornign its cracked and ate...shell left behind.

The rooster is fine he slept in cat carrier in shed.

I got a live trap and thinkin bout putting an egg in it and a chunk of fresh fish.

or a piece of chicken since it loves chicken.

have me a mink sock in a minute.
