Visit From A Mink

Something was sneakily killing my chickens!

I was surprised to find out who it was!

I live in rural Alberta, Canada and realized something was happening to my pet chickens in February of 2022, but I had no idea what!

Their coop and outside area are safe, with nothing bigger than a mouse being able to get in. And yet my chickens were disappearing! And I couldn't find any bodies!

Once I had him caught and rehomed to a suitable environment - a wooded area near water far away from our place - I did some digging around. I found the sneaky little guy had very cleverly dragged and hidden the dead bodies of my birds in very small places in the coop. I have no idea how he was able to jam them in there. Here's hoping he never comes back!
