Got a call today too say there was 10 chickens with their heads missing, and the night before a couple off chickens lost their feet!!
Is this young foxes or pinemarten or mink??

Regards marshall
 
Hi Marshall, I live just along the road from you at Kirkhill, I would say it's a mink not a pinemarton. There is a lot of pinemarton kicking about in our neck of the woods... If you need a hand send me a PM

Cheers Andy
 
Hi marshall had the same problem when i lived in tain it was mink as i seen them on regular basis nasty they are cheers shotz
 
Hi same here not far from you, could be a fox as they tend to chew head off, would expect to find a couple missing as well, pine martin would leave puncture marks on the back of the neck behind the head, pluck a few to check, mink would kill same as pine martin, so fox is my best bet, or maybe a badger.

My money would be on a fox, that's a lot of heads for a mink to take off, had an arc full of ducks loose their legs to a fox when I was a kid, just pulled them under the side and chewed them off, left some of them alive with stumps poor little buggers!!!!
