The two dead birds were 100% in tact they were only dead from a bite wound. The 3rd bird was missing with no feathers left behind. A dog would have left much more evidence behind than 2 cleanly killed birds.
The nearest bears to henry county is 40 miles south in bibb/macon. Possible but not likely.
When I had that problem I set some live traps around the coop baited with the "leftovers" of the attack. I'm not sure if I caught the original perpetrator or just someone cleaning up its mess, but so far I've caught two possums, a racoon, and a skunk. Cameras are a good idea. I've also heard of people buying wolf pee granules to sprinkle around the area.So one of my regular customers came in today who always talks to me about chickens came in today. His birds were 16 weeks and coming up on POL age. Last night something ripped the bottom 2 planks of his lap siding off the coop and 2 of his birds were dead but in tact and 1 was missing. From all evidence gathered from his information and his pictures we can only come up with a weasel. First time i've heard of a weasel attack in Georgia but that's the only thing we can figure.
Do you have Muscovys? One of my EE pullets got caught in my live trap once. She won't make that mistake again!Interesting first for me last night ... my live trap captured an adult drake Muscovy.
