What kills a chicken? Day predators can be hawks, rats, domestic or wild cats, dogs, foxes, weasels or anything in that size range that is native to your area. Night predators might be all above but a hawk; plus skunk, opossum, raccoon, coyote, owls. What causes a predator to only eat the guts is generally its hunger level. The hungrier the predator, generally the more of the prey it will consume. Depending on the size of the predator and its ability to carry off the chicken, it may have been interrupted during its meal, or just had enough.

can i get a disease from chickens? so annoying and gross! Yes, small flocks of chickens can carry diseases that we, as human, can get. But it really isn't a serious risk-you are at far, far greater risk from being attacked by your neighbor's dog or getting hurt on the drive to the grocery store.

Rats in my coop and stealing my eggs My chickens eat mice (mouse football) but I'm thinking that this pudgy rat was too big for them to mess with. I just cant figure out how the rat would get the egg, out of the nest box, without breaking it.there is absolutly no trace of the eggs. have seen my sisters chickens kill mice before but not rats. My chickens won't even kill the mice. Not sure maybe I got the breeds that are too mellow to be velociraptors. I have two coops one is stand alone with a wood floor.

- Not mine, a friend of mine. They had 15 chickens all killed, with two skunks in/near the pen when they found it. They are sure that the skunks went on a killing spree. I think it sounds more like a dog dug in and killed them all, and the skunks came in after. They said the skunks dug under the fence.

What killed my chicken? The chicken keeper's worst nightmare is unfortunately common. You head out to the coop to feed your hens...and instead walk into a battleground of dismembered chickens. Although you may simply want to crawl into a hole and cry at the time, it's worth taking a few minutes to determine what kind of predator killed your chickens so you can prevent further attacks.
