Beware of Ferrets
One night I didn't close the chicken house at dusk like usual as we had guests for dinner. Went I did finally get out there to close the door to the outside it was probably around 9:30
One of the pullets was lying dead and quite heavily mutilated in the middle of the enclosure while the others were nervously perched above.
I have set a trap twice now, using the chicken carcass as bait. But so far failed to catch the culprit.
