Do groundhogs eat chicks

Answer 1

We have large Groundhogs here in Central Alabama and some are dark fur and some a beige, light brown and blondish. We were told wouldn't kill chickens but oh yes they do and cats. We lost too game roosters this morning around 4 a.m. our dog was raising heck...went out...too late groundhog had one in mouth and chewing and shaking poor rooster. By the time I got my gun the thing ran off but when I returned I found another rooster totally mutilated...he must've/she killed it before it got the one I caught it killing. I had on flood lights and my big lantern flashlight...IT WAS A GROUNDHOG!

No but they will try to defend themselves if a dog attacks them

Yes! A groundhog attacked my 100 lb German Sheppherd and cause severe damage to his face requiring staples. Very vicious attack, watched the whole thing and couldn't stop it.

Typically no.
