Walked the dogs today and when I returned there were 3 turkey babies, one chick a rooster and his girlfriend a buff orpington gone. That's almost half my flock. At first I thought a hawk got the babies but realize with the adults it must be a pack of coyotes to get that many. No more walks for awhile. Will coyotes kill dogs? I have a beagle mix and a 80 pound retriever.

Has anyone else had this problem?

could be a fox, they are fast little devils and yes coyotes will kill dogs, they I believe hunt in packs.

Don't you think that given the number of birds lost in a short amount of time it would have been a pack? I think I heard a fox the other day. Could one fox take down 6 birds? This is my first major loss from predators.
 
Me again. I'm wondering why the predators wouldn't have gone after a real meal like the turkeys who are slower than the chickens. I believe the roo got caught trying to save his favorite girl.
