So I went out to the chicken tractor tonight and my 3 girls were dead. 2 were gone and the third was minus a head. I'm thinking coons.

Hey Grumps, long time no see! Got a game cam? be nice to know exactly what you're dealing with. Good luck!
Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!

If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.
Coons sound right. They got several of mine. Possums as well as hawks to. But a coon attack sounds like what you described.
if it was canine or fox the whole bunch would be dead .....
I dunno, I've never seen a coon kill and leave them. But then again I've never seen them take more than one.
I agree that it's not a fox or coyote. They would have killed and eaten every single one. I don't know anything about opossum though.
If its a coon, skunk or opossum you can make a ton of traps for real cheap around your property. Find some downed logs and drill a hole about an inch and a half across, drive some nails into it at an angle so they point down into the hole then shove a piece of herring or fish down there. They will grab it and not let go. They won't be able to get their hand out with it made into a fist.
Cheapest and easiest traps I have ever made. Plus if its a skunk I can just shoot it with the 22 and leave it for the coyotes without worrying about getting a $30 dollar trap and stake back from the stink.

The tallest oak in the forest was once just a nut who held its ground.
Be decisive. Right or Wrong, make a decision. The road of life is paved with flat squirrels who could not make a decision.
Glad to see you back around Grumpy. Hope things, other than the chickens, are going your way.
Glad to see ya back grumpy!
RELIGION IS LIKE A PENIS
Its fine to have one,
Its fine to be proud of it,
But please dont whip it out in public and start waving it around,
And PLEASE dont try to force it down my children's throats.
An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.

The mist is a great cover for one's unknown presence. OH it's great to be older Great Spirit.
Just cause you don't see me doesn't mean I ain't here!
