Something is killing flock

I have some fantastic news but it's not fantastic news at the same time. We caught it on camera early this morning. So it's a dang Fox which I've wasn't sure but the feet were so small I was favoring it. Now idk legally in the state of Florida what we can do about it

I’m not super familiar with Mink but I’ve seen a small short tail weasel kill and drag off a bunny during the day right in front of me and my kids and a mink is much bigger. I also know they will kill anything they think they can eat but in the end don’t always manage to drag them off. Was it close to the back of the neck? What did the wound look like? A mink will leave closely spaced pairs of canine teeth marks usually by the neck or skull. They are apparently notorious for leaving what they kill behind. People liken their tracks to a kittens. Was there any scent ever? I hope this helps!

We seen it on camera finally! I posted a pic in the thread go check it out I'm happy we know now

Glad you finally know what you’re dealing with! Hopefully someone can help you with best ways to deter it. Good luck!

Thank you so much I'm just ready for this to be over so our flock is safe and we can all sleep at night again. I'm exhausted staying up watching cameras all night is definitely hard especially working 13 hour days
