Something killed all of my chickens last nite!!!

I am sooo sorry for your loss!! :( That is terrible news... I would definately say weasel or mink...They would certainly go after prey exactly like that. Anything else larger would take one and leave...and the holes would be much larger...etc...I Think you've fiqured that out.

Suggestion, what we did when building our chicken house...under the house area and chicken yard we dug down and placed chicken wire in the ground and connected it to the yard fencing and the chicken house itself. We have had great success with this. We also lined the fencing with rocks and burried everything with soil. And nothing has got in from underneath...thankfully...it has also prevented rodents too which is an added bonus. Good luck..and again Im very sorry for your loss...
 
Chicken wire will keep chickens in , but will NOT keep predators out !!!

Absolutely no chicken wire for me in the future, just 1/4" hardware cloth.
I hear this over and over. And yet, makes me wonder why they sell chicken wire to begin with...
