Chickens disappeared!
« on: February 23, 2015, 01:44:05 pm »
Has anyone ever heard of 20 chickens and 4 guinea fowl disappearing? Only a few patches of guinea feathers left. Surely a fox wouldn't have been able to take 14 birds? Fair enough kill them n take a few but Theres none to be seen anywhere!

Yep a fox could and would take them all given enough time.

If there are no chicken feathers my first guess would be two legged foxes though!

Yes, sounds like theft, unfortunately  :(

Where were they roosting? Guinea fowl are normally much more savvy about danger than hens.  Foxes, given time and no interruptions, would bury some for later.
