What type of animal p**p is this?

Question

ok it was sorta blunt at the end it had berries in it lots of blackberry seeds about 2-4 inches long the fresh piles are orangeish but when they dry out it turns black i found it all around the base of a tree and up on a platform type thing in the tree,please help me idk if it chould be killing the chickens or if it is harmless...

Answer 1

might be raccoons..........or fox, but I don't think raccoons kill poultry and fox do not eat berries.

Edit....just looked at the photo...too big to be fox or raccoon f***s........do you have any bears in your area or mountain lions?

Answer 2

Probably a raccoon.

Answer 3

Raccoon and they will kill chickens if they ever get started. Kill one another will come. Just put the chickens up at night.

Could be opossum also but I doubt it.

If you believe it is hanging around you can determine without a doubt if its a raccoon. Place shallow pan of water by the tree and in the water place corn or otter food a raccoon could see and retrieve. Only a raccoon will get food from in the water.  Alternatively you could form fresh mud and place any food where the animal must step in it. Look at the tracks.

Answer 4

what state?

Answer 5

Coon, opossum, or skunk, it's kinds hard to tell without a picture of a track .  Set out a Have-A-Hart trap with a can of tuna in it and you should catch it pretty quickly, then kill or relocate it a good distance away or it will keep comin' back and killin' your chickens

Answer 6

A raccoon

Answer 7

if its eating berries I doubt its harmful to chickens. There are very few omnivores in the wild.

Post a pic of the poo. that would be more helpful.
