That is so cute. I am looking forward to having chickens again one day.
We had one here that got 5 of my 7 ducks. It was getting them every other day. We put out a trap with live bait within a cage inside the trap, but nothing. A few days later a guy about 1/2 mile from us killed one that was getting his chickens. We thought our troubles were over. But we caught a bobcat on the game camera October 9th, but haven't gotten another picture of it. So we know that another one is around, just haven't seen evidence of it.Trust me on this, the bobcat will come back!! And it will continue to return till there are no more!
I learned this the hard way 2 summers ago!!
We would shoot guns off at different times during the day, and that helped only during the day.
My husband and I were sitting out with the chickens one morning, and the dog went off on a rampage barking and chasing. The bobcat couldn't have been more than 20-30 feet away. We had no idea, they are camoflouged so well!!
Anyway, our Aussie chased off that bobcat, that time.
Sorry to hear that.We had one here that got 5 of my 7 ducks. It was getting them every other day. We put out a trap with live bait within a cage inside the trap, but nothing.

I am keeping the ducks closer to the house (they aren't appreciative of it!). So far I still have the remaining 2. The 5 that the cat got were younger the two remaining are a lot older, I don't know if the older ones were more observant or what. The cat was getting them while they slept around their pool. We actually got a picture of it carrying the dead duck into the woods. The local game warden thought that maybe it was a female cat feeding kittens since it was coming in every other day. No clue.
Good luck!

We can hope! Broke my heart losing the 5. After all the work of raising them for 6 months to have it end like that! Poor ducks!Possible the neighbor got one of a mated pair and hopefully the other will depart to find a new mate. A long shot but maybe.
