Release pen raided

[User00003]

shows the importance of getting them to learn roosting behaviour ASAP, makes life so much easier for both the poults and the keeper! I even heard of people putting a cage with a poult up in a tree for a couple of days after initial release, just to give the others an idea of what they 'should' do...not sure if this is legal or ethical though!...

Did have a cat that caused a bit of worry a few years ago, it was only killing two or three poults a week, we caught it by putting mink cages over each pop hole, it was caught within a day or to. Thinking back over it those birds had their chests stripped, so maybe this is part of your prob.
Anyway hope you get it sorted, sooner rather than later, the deaths add up over a week or two.
