robbo 828 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 A friend of mine has been having his chickens taken by something on a regular basis. It is happening during the day and whatever it is just takes one bird, usually one of the smaller ones. It doesnt make any noise chasing them about so must just wait for the perfect moment to make its move then carries them off . wouldnt have thought it was a fox but im open to suggestions as to what it could be and how to get rid of it.
