I found out about 5 week's ago and got that sorted out . I think i have found where it got in last night. Hopefully got that fixed.

Seriously thinking of calling it a day. Went into my loft this morning to discover 6 bird's had been killed.That's 11 in 5 weeks.It's bad enough losing 11 racing, but in the SAFETY of their own loft. Absloutly GUTTED.
On Saturday night I forgot to close my young bird sputnick trap. Next morning I found 3 bird's had been killed 1 was on the loft floor the other 2 were under the loft. At first I thought it was a cat. But morning in my main loft I found a yearling hen dead with it's head ripped off. I am now thinking it's a rat. Any suggestings how I can catch it ?
Personally I don't think it was all down to the east wind. I think the electrocal storms they were experiencing down south was a major factor for the heavy losses.
