What could kill and eat 30 chickens in 1 night and not leave a single body.

My husband served 20 yrs. 3 infantry, 3 tanks, 14 -F18 Electrician. Our Son served 5 yr CH53 Rotor Mechanic.
My husband refuses to take me on a cruise. You can probably guess why.

You'll never get me on a cruise again. I'll fly where I want to go, get there and enjoy the place and not be held prisoner on a over priced boat going in circle for days till a few hours before it's time to arrive in port. I was a POW of Caribbean Cruise lines for a week and only got to spend 1 day in Bahamas. I could have took a ferry and been there in 5-6 hours and got to spend days on the islands instead of just 1. My wife loved it though!

I would set the trap you have too. Maybe you can get some of the young coons.

Hopefully I'll get them all!

Here's a few pics from today while feeding the birdies. I'll see if I have any of other birds that fly over regularly. View attachment 1232021 View attachment 1232022 View attachment 1232023

The Reason I say This is because chickens are a ground bird. There natural predators usually come from the sky. Most of there vision is dedicated to looking up. that is why they turn their head to look at you when you are in front of them. With all the over head helicopters (here I have Warthogs and Osprey from North Carolina) that may also be spooking them. As far as they are concerned its just another bird. They need a bamboo patch or a 4*8 plywood they can run under when they exercises get close. happy hens lay way more eggs than scared ones. That is also why they they don't walk out into the sun in the middle of a summer day they stay right at the shade line. I hope you find a few of them. Are there Alligator or really big snakes there?

We have the stealths here so the birds never notice them. But we also get the big bombers and cargo planes that fly directly over us and so low it shakes the windows and you can read the numbers on them.
They spook everything. Now I'm wondering just what the chickens think of those things.

Ha
Well in the last two weeks I've been splitting and stock piling wood and also brought in two pallets of chicken feed.
They might be getting the wrong idea.
Guess its time to set up the trap line now.

And as you are working hard around your farm, do you have an Ipod with your favorite music to pass the time of day. Listening to some good tunes like Copperhead road by Steve Earle....
