[QUOTE="rla442, post: 1324973, member: 13688"] Your in Northern Ohio...Raccoons would be my guess and my experience. I raise turkeys and used to raise pheasants. If I don't set traps out in the spring they will clean you out and carry them off to the den. Dead chicken 100 yrds from the coop-This is the classic sign! Then when momma starts taking the babies out teaching them to hunt in a few weeks, your chicken coop will look like a massacre with all your chickens killed. Follow in the direction away from the coop and towards where you found the dead chicken. It probably leads to a creek or ravine with den trees. Get some dog proof traps and set them up in that area. Bait them with cat food and mini marshmellows. Throw out a couple handful of the marshmellows around the trap. [/QUOTE]
