I was out for two nights due to family commitments so of course I lost a young pullet each night to a predator. the birds were killed in the hen house and not taken away so I figured either possum or weasel. Well tonight I locked all the young birds in with the older laying flock and took up possition with the shotgun. at 11:00 pm here comes mr Possum well no more chicken on his menu. The dang thing got one of my favorite silkies and a nice red easter egger pullet. It never fails when I am home no problems but go out for the night dead birds. I may start putting out traps to keep predator numbers down.
