Need some feedback...i was told today that reckons don't normally kill chickens, that they are mainly scavengers. And that what killed my Ginny back in Feb was more than likely a weasel ...the animal only took her head. If a weasel, what to use to try and trap it???
Ripping a chicken's head off is exactly what a raccoon will do through chain-link or 2 x 4 welded wire fencing. That's why you need secondary wire behind it, such as 1/2" hardware cloth or poultry wire.
