Oh. That's unfortunate. I've never had a cat do that. I see the problem. The toms that visited our cats never did that.My bestie across the way busted a stray cat carrying off her Phoenix teens =( We'd all originally welcomed him and had been leaving food for him on our porches; she lost 7 before the cat was busted doing it. The one pullet she managed to get away from him died several hours later.It'd be a hard sell--even my hubby is still mad about all that and feels somehow betrayed! :-o We have spotted some large black snakes around the coops recently and scrambled to make sure all our eggs would be secure (I have 1 coop, my bestie has FOUR!
). Her hubby is saying to not kill them, that they should be able to keep small, furry predators to a minimum, but...ugh...snakes! ::shudder::
Black snakes certainly help. But you wouldn't really want them in your house lol.
Yes they do steal eggs (the snakes) I haven't heard of much loss of birds by them. Maybe small chicks?
