This morning I found one of my 5 week turkey poults in the turkey coop that was eaten by something. The only thing left of him was his wings and a foot. It really made me sick to my stomach and I felt so bad for him. It's the first bird that I've lost to a predator. He was housed with three adult turkeys (two hens, one tom) and two other turkey poults, which are all doing okay. I've looked over the coop and there's no way something really big could've gotten in there. I'm thinking a rat or weasel possibly. Would something like that do this?
I'm renovating their pen right now to prevent whatever it was or anything else from getting in there.
