I looked through the board and couldn't match these to anything. We have lost two chickens in the middle of the day (well around 3pm) on two different days. It stinks because I have been off work due to weather here and there was no noise or warning as to what was going on. I think on both occasions the hens taken had not stayed with the flock. They were on a different side of the house alone. We found some feathers, no blood, and on the most recent attack we found a few feathers and an egg yolk (disturbing). Any ideas? I was hoping some of these tracks might lead to the predator. We are thinking dog or fox but these are dog tracks. I don't know what fox tracks look like in snow as deep as ours (about 3 inches so far). I looked on line and found pics in very shallow snow so that didn't help. Some of the pics don't look like impressions for some reason, but they are. What do you think?
