On a contract visit to a farm I saw this.
These birds are Barred Plymouth Rock Chicks (cockerels) about 7weeks of age according to the farm records.
20 chicks were killed at one night.
I was dumbfounded because all my years in poultry experience never have I seen such graphic devour from any foreign/strange animal.
In the pen, these deceased chicks weren't scattered, the 20 remains of these devoured chicks were seen packed or eaten at a corner...I mean all.
Please which deadly animal could have done this?
Please don't say witches and wizards before I report and ban you...lol
No jokes please. As for the pens, I can testify they're well bio secured.
Thanks.

Where are the pics na

PICTURE?

by your description, it is a wild cat, a cat that has left house for long and lives in the bush or born in the bush by its strayed parents (Eona or Eranona).

That is typical of that animal. It goes after "local" chicks that are a month old or more, carry them away to a secluded place to eat.
I suspect it had been doing it and didn't just come one night to pack the 20 chicks. it mostly operates very early in the morning around 4am to 5am. It will eat the whole chick, the only thing it remains are the feet and intestine.
Am I right OP cos you didn't post the pic?

It could not be fox.

1, we don't have alligators in Nigeria, we have crocodiles. 2, this can't be the work of crocodiles, crocodiles swallow their prey whole.
