Could somebody help me. I started the season with over twenty hens and four roosters, today I have three hens and two roosters. I have some kind of preditor that is taking my birds and carrying them away. Its like they are using parts of my pen to trap the birds and make it easier to get them.
I finally got a live trap today and plan to set it tonight. If anyone has a live trap I could borrow, because I am sure it is more than one animal doing this much carnage in just a couple of weeks, I would really appreciate the loan.
Any help would be appreciated, I have made changes to my pen to try and protect my birds but that hasn't worked, and I don't know what else to do, I just have to get rid of the preditors and hope no more come in to take their place.
Also I have many young barn cats, when I say many I mean like 12, their moms have been dumped and I end up with lots of babies that I can't keep. If you need a barn cat let me know.
Good luck everyone, I hope we get some rain, that would help a lot. Bonny
