This Is WAR.

a little while ago. a skunk crossed my moms path around lunch time. it saw her and started walking towards here. not to spray.
she went to get dad, and he shot it. it never tried to spray.
it must of been really sick or something

that would explain the lack of blood around my dead beheaded chickens.

but i have a new puzzle. family told me i lost 2 chickens. i went home the other weekend and i notice there are 4 missing. and 2 more have turned into roosters.

but the thing that buggs the hell out of me is. i had a trio of seabrights in a small chicken tractor with an apple bin as the solid housing part. with the smallest wiring.
i notice one of the hens is missing from there (they are too small to have with the rest of the flock.... the turkens try to kill them) and i look and it seems slike something pulled one out from under it!

so apparently my family and the hired help thinks its now the work of a weasle. nothing is caught in the traps yet.

that is the update.

so far as i can tell from 79 chickens > 75.

Traps won't do much good if the access to the chooks is unimpeded (particularly if the pred has already had luck getting at the chooks). You might want to have your tractor skirted with .5" hardware cloth weighed/staked down to ground (temp. fix).
