Guest ROUGH COATED Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Just had my mate on the phone, she says a weasel has killed 40 of her chickens. She wants rid of it but hasnt got a clue where to start. Any ideas? I would say a FOX,Plot up and see what happens!!!!! Let me no how you get on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jultaylor1972 2 Posted May 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Well, she's adamant it was a weasel Says there is now way a fox could get in, there's just small holes big enough for a ferret sized animal? She also reakons thats how weasels kill their pray? I don't know - I know very little about them to be honest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tommy Gunn 0 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 No way its a weasel may be a stoat but I think Fox. http://www.wildlifebritain.com/stoatorweasel.php The weasel is far to small to take chickens and this modus operandi is pure Fox! They don't need a big hole just enough for the head to get in and the rest will follow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
