Hey Greatgoose 
It could be a Otter they make a kind off screaming niose if you find a foot print that looks unfamiliar that you've never seen on your farm send it on and we'll have alook. |

Thanks for that but i doubt its an otter because i live no where near a river or water like source
but i have just realised that we get stoats frequenting the area which would explain the absence of rats anyway are stoats as bad as mink regarding to poultry? |

| Oh yes - vicious little beasts stoats and quite capable of killing chickens. |
