Evening all. Through my job I control rats in a bird santuary but over the last week or so they had had ten chicken / geese killed. These birds have had their heads / necks removed and most of them have had the inside eaten at. These birds are in a pen which has a 6 foot chain link fence and chicken mesh around the bottom. There are a few holes in the chicken fence but no hair to be seen on broken wires. The pen is next to another pen which only has a 2 foot 6 fence and no birds have been taken from here. I have had cage traps in there baited with day old chicks but only caught a chicken. I found a dropping yesterday which was dark brown about 6 mm in diameter and 8 cm long if straight. Smells preety strong and was on freshly dug pile of soil. Which looks like from a near rat burrow. Helps please. I think the girl who looks after the birds can't take much more. Regards pj
