Yesterday 4 more chickens killed leaving me only 4 left out of 13 - today saw the culprit bold as brass - big bob cat - first it was up in the next pasture, then heard the rooster making a warning noise and it was sitting just around the corner of the driveway - later it came down and was heading to the the chicken run.
Father in law has a shotgun and a rifle - said we should shoot the darn thing - however I have misgivings about that - not sure if they are endangered or not - might feel even worse about shooting it than loosing the chickens. I wouldnt mind so much if it killed one and took it away to eat but it just killed 4 of them and left them there!!!
Do you think an electric fence would deter it?
Thanks,
lee
