What animal has a white face and eats eggs???

Opossoms will definately go after your chicks. About 5 years ago, I ordered some chicks from McMurrys, and I made a make shift brooder out of a dog cage wraped with chicken wire. (first mistake) In the middle of the night I heard the commotion, and when I went out to my old carriage barn, about 6 opossoms were reaching through the wire and shreeding the chicks back out to get them. If memory serves, they had nine gone before I could run them off. Yes, the ugly things come on your deck in the middle of the night to steal catfood (I have a hole in my deck were I missed to prove), but they will be oportunistic and kill your chicks (atleast) too.

I have no idea if you have these, nor if they eat eggs or chickens, but the first thing that came to mind was...
























Badger, badger, badger (mushroom, mushroom!)

Sorry...if you get it, you're laughing. If you don't,

Badgers are most definitely chicken predators. We had one kill almost 20 chickens one night. Ick.

could be a skunk too...

I've had 2 all white females here..... they're rarer than not but... they ARE out there. Matter of fact I have a white momma with 3 babies out in my wild flower patch right now

I KNOW about the badger....thing

I'm thinkin that if it WAS a badger, you would writing this from the ER!! They are really vicious.

I'll bet it WAS a possum. You need a good shotgun. Last winter was the first time we DIDn't kill one. They're not that mean, BUT, they'll go after your cats, too.

Boy, have you noticed how many wild critters populations are expanding? Lots and lots of deer, fox, raccoons (evil)---not so many rabbits. (that's because my dog, Rose, is killing THEM off)

I even picked up a young possum once by the tail that I THOUGHT was dead, then it curled it's tail around my finger---NASTY

(I was gonna throw the body on my burn pile....)

It says on the internet that opossums don't kill for there food but that is not true

Evidently the possum that killed 6 of my hens doesnt have internet access​

We have a possum that lives behind our chicken coops in the neighbor's rotten wood pile It's a big fat one, mostly gray/white colored, with a long rat tail. It killed one of my SF girls one night when the coop door didn't get closed properly.

I've never considered it eating eggs before. I have only seen it heading into the wood pile at dusk. It goes somewhere else during the day apparently. My coonhound stands up against the fence back there and goes wild at night if we let him out.
