Predator

I lost another hen the other day, she had her neck broken and the skin had been sliced open. After investigating and doing some research I am pretty sure that the culprit is a weasel, I'm now wondering if the other hen that  died had been injured by the weasel. Another sign is that my dominant rooster 'Uther' had his comb injured. Weasels like to go for the head and comb. So far I haven't caught it, but I have set up a motion detector light to ward off night attacks. I will keep you updated on this situation. I will try to do my blog posts more regularly I've been sick again but I think I'm nearly better. Well keep visiting, and Happy late Thanksgiving.
