Protect my birds!!!!!!!!

[Julia-renee]

Found a hen dead today. We think a raccoon or fisher got to her. She was outside of or pen at her nest and the trail of feathers went around the pen to her body. Is there anything I could buy like a decoy of some sort that would scare predators away. My turkey mean the world to me and this recent death hit me like a truck. (I'm 11 by the way)

got live traps?

Are they expensive? My dad might have some, what could I bait them with?

 

[peaceisgreen]

they can be pricey or you can learn some rope snares
you can use anything really could use some of the turkey they were after some berries and a ball of tinfoil

I would make sure you get them locked up at night in a secure pen. I don't allow any hens to sit outside their pen on eggs, it's too dangerous.

you can buy wolf pee shots. Apparently they scare predators away...I have never used them nor do I know of anyone who uses them.

Sorry about your turkey.
