Yesterday morning i checked on my chicks in the coop/ it was their first night there. I found 5 dead. Most with head trauma or without a head. I was rather upset 5 others were missing. I went to town a purchased a cage trap for the culprit. I had already lost a duck to a beheading. This morning i had a racoon in the trap that was baited with a dead chick. The racoon was disposed of, and the trap is now reset.
