marty Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Awful close to the door handle -- dodgy unless it was locked as well as closed. I think badger as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tisme Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Would badgers kill the chickens? I sat out last night looking for the "fox" but I only saw 1 badger, he didn't come close just walked across the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSG Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Direction of damage looks up instead of down to me which might rule out claws dragging down a door! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brown dog Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Has the door been propped open? Looks to me as though a prop or similar has been lent against it and forced upwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 can you measure the distance from the ground ? as if i remember corectly the standard height from the bottom of door is about 900-1000 mm . ADD the extra 200mm from the ground its probably 1100-1200mm in total height ! it must be fox , surely badger couldn't reach up there ? BUT iv yet to see an abonibal snowman !

abolter Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 I would be worried about the panters (usually only contacted by phone) and definately the abonimal snowmen!! I also agree that some of the damage appears to go up over. A badger will be at least as tall as a fox on back legs and will definately kill chickens. In all my time keeping hens the only confirmed kill was a badger (ie it killed a hen). At this point the door rubbing seems favourite. What is the ground like at the base of the door, anything on its back legs leaving mark like that would mark the ground too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ergid Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Roe deer. Stripping up with bottom teeth Im with you mate its teeth marks not claw marks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tisme Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Lots of roe deer around here so possible. I wish I had looked for paw/hoof prints, I will tomorrow. Trail cam set up and I'm going to sit out again for a few hours. Snow men aliens and mouse it's not. That's the only definite thing I know.
