It's mostly eating them, a few die from attacks but aren't eaten. Lost all my roosters, and I'm really upset about one rooster in particular. He was a pet darn near. Let you hold him and loved being hand fed. Beautiful colors too. 3 weeks ago I had 28, now I have only 9. Been a coyote loose lately, killed one of my neighbors 20 cats. Can't say I'm upset about that. But like I said, wasn't him, no signs of entry, not that my son says he sees and I been gone the last month. I'm headed home tonight though. Thinking about buying some eggs, injecting them with poison, and leaving them out in the coop.

I'll look into buying an electric wire around the base, I like that idea. But for now, I need what's after them dead. Maybe some traps too, baited with chicken carcass.

On another note, anyone got some chicks they would part with? I need about 20. And I'd like 3 good roosters. I'm after Leghorns, Some Reds, and Americaunas for hens, and I'd prefer Americauna roosters, but a leg horn would be good too.

TrevorM:
If it's a coon a few dp traps are probably your best bet. Check with your local regs though (don't want you getting in trouble).

Good advice for coon. Very selective trap.

Digital Caveman:
Could it be a feral cat, or something on wings?
