Good Post! We live in a very small town and have never had that level of destruction. There was one time a raccoon got in and killed a few chicks which made my daughter really mad since they were destined for her 4-H project. Later a possum got in and killed a few layer hens. I caught the critter and borrowed my son's pellet gun to dispatch it. A half mile down the road though a friend's entire flock was decimated by a coyote. It tore through the chicken wire surrounding the cage.

Chicken Massacre Follow-up Post - RESOLVED!!!
As a kid we had raccoons regularly get into our hens. At first it was due to just one bar on the doors, then the next time was thru the screens on the windows. We learned over the years, but still, raccoons are no joke. My dad still remembers as a kid watching them on either side of a garbage can working the lid of. Smart ass critters. I had to dispatch a family of them that were terrorizing my chickens about 5 years ago.
