Need help ID-ing chicken killer (graphic)

[spectr17]

same here, it was a bobcat getting a friends chickens. He would climb on the plywood roof of old coop and then jump over to the new bigger coop that had netting on top. Owner made the mistake of using netting with gaps all over. They couldnt believe it was a bobcat even after i showed them where he was slipping through that netting. The game cam pics convinced them though.

I love bobcats. There more of a ghost then a cat. I'm just glad it wasn't old sassy on the prowl again.

 These are usual culprits in NE Ohio

Glad you found your culprit! We used to raise chickens, quail, turkeys etc and it was a constant job fighting off predators and beefing up pens.

I'm a big fan of using cameras to determine what is going on. I use the Arlo cameras that can detect motion and then give you an alert on your phone, so you can intervene while the perpetrator is there! And they work at night as well.

I thought for sure it was a skunk..
A skunk will kill them all and only eat one...
Same as a cat, Kill for the fun of it..
