Two nights ago something got in my henhouse and killed 7 of 13 of my chickens. These were 7 week old reds, 6 were just chewed up, mainly on their back and neck. Only one was eaten, left the wings, head, feet, and gizzard. I was thinking raccoon. I set a live trap with one of the dead birds hanging as bait. Next morning there was a really big old ugly possum in the trap and what was left of the bait. Wings, head, feet, and gizzard
. I've killed over a dozen possums caught stealing eggs but never thought they'd kill chickens like this.
