So how big should your pullets be before you can safely keep them in the coop with the other adult chooks if it's not rat-proofed?

The Chickens killed in this instance were almost full grown Leghorns! there was a buffet of bantams 4m away and they weren't touched

WTF! (Sorry for my French!) Nasty! Maybe they're really hungry and it was easier to get the Leggies due to various reasons. Sorry for your lost. I'm in Australia and I'm glad my chooks are still alive. Bloody rats everywhere though. They've even gone into my nursery and pissed and pooed everywhere! Disgusting!

Ewwww!! Grose thanks but you can watch that video yourself. Maybe when you're feeling really down you can watch the part about you drowning the bastards. Sorry that's really sadistic! :p They look so cute but when they're killing your pet chooks, it's a different thing altogether.

Thinking of installing rodent netting then? More may come!
 
I'm so sorry @Chookwagn - how awful to lose your birds (and your gorgeous rooster - you must've been gutted).

We have lost one bantam to a stoat that thankfully must've been just passing through as we haven't had anything touch the chickens since and we've caught nothing in any of our traps.

I did catch a feral cat wandering up the driveway the other day. I grabbed the dog and we took off after it. The dog was clueless as to why we were running down the drive, but she's always up for a bit of fun (she's so good with all our animals and would never chase anything), and hopefully she's enough of a deterrent to keep that mangy looking feline away.

I sure hope you've caught all there is to catch. :fl They are nasty things.

It was screeching at me when ever I even got close to the cage........... it didnt make any noise at all when it went for its swim.

It was charging the cage trying to get my hands
