I now think it was coyote's or a pack of wild dogs that took those Meaties, My neighbor seen a pack in her yard she thought 4-5 adults and 3-4 pups, not 30 feet from her house the other night eating /attacking what she thought was a dog. She said she yelled at them they didn't even move and shined a flashlight on them ..kind of scary considering I live in a sort of town, or a dead one that thrived in the 1800"s everybody had large country lots from 3/4 to 10 acres but still on our little side street we have a streetlight which lights up the front of my house and hers she also has a small 2 bedroom cottage that some of her family lives in behind her house , i have 3 motion lights and another i turn on and off until about 1 am letting my dogs out and ,she has 3 or 4 between the 2 houses..combined her family ,her and us,there is 7 dogs..no unfixed females..5 of them are male ....I have the biggest ones a 2 yr old Saint Bernard, Boxer, and an Aussie. IN the past when I have let the big boy out he would bark when the coyotes did off in the distance and they wouldn't come any closer...I guess they are making their rounds , a neighbor told me that pretty much everyone is loosing massive amount's of chickens....Except for the meatie's everyone else in in woodshed type coop's with dog kennel's. one is the welded wire, all coop's have wood floor's and another 3 foot garden fence around them all..except my new coop which just has some babies in it ,has no real run yet but I just let them roam a bit then lock them up...can't really shoot them as it is kind of a grey area with this being unincorporated town...not a good idea anyway as all houses face main street or each other on a side street no matter the lot size..Any idea's because this pack seems a little to comfortable with people, etc..
Thanks again everyone and I will get back to you on that composting research.
