The major predator for our area is the chicken snake. Once they get into the coop they will eat the eggs and the baby's. Sometimes they will try to eat a larger bird and end up suffocating it. This one ate 2 baby birds and was so full it curled up to sleep. I found it when I was checking on how large the squeakers were so I could band them.
You can see here the big bulge in his stomach. He was not a happy camper, so he bit the handler.
