i had the same thing happen to me this summer, whatever it was it took two of my 2 month old guinea babies and dug 2 different holesinto the completely enclosed yard in one night. we set live traps (4) with and without bait, and steel traps (4) all with no results... one baited live trap was even picked clean but not tripped! all we can figure is it must have been a fox with a litter.

earlier in the summer we had 2 sitting field guineas go missing and in one instance whatever it was took all the eggs!!! that nest had 20-30 eggs in it!

so now we have placed concrete blocks around the yard and i have to herd the rooster, hen and 3 month old guineas into the house and shut them in every night... its worked so far.
now its war with the varmits, i know they must eat too but they wont be eating my babies!
