Default Large animal turds in yard?

Not if they are killing your poultry. :-P

I do poison rats but the possums can't get to the bait as I use bar bait
inside of suet cages and they are well covered. I use cinder blocks to
build rat bait stations. I don't like using poison and take every
precaution to make sure only the rats get it.

My border collie kills the possums......

Can't stop her from doing what comes naturally to her.

Oh how desperately sad that is. I don't poison anything. They have every
right
to be here.

I vote for possum also. I have had them live and reproduce in (under) an old
brush pile (central Austin). I didn't realize there was as much room inside
that pile as there was until they decided that my rat bait (in a shed)would
be a good food source. I was in total denial as to how the rats could be
eating so much bait (but I kept replenishing the supply). Then over a few
days, I had not only a dead parent, but two (dead) offspring which were
almost full grown!

I took a walk around today in the back gardens which are not tamed at

all. I
found several mounds of turds about the size of a cat, but a bit larger.

Aside
from a cat, what else could that be? Do skunks live in brush piles?

How big
are armadillo turds? I'm stumped. In one of the piles, there were a

bunch of
berry seeds in the turds.

We experience the same thing. i am pretty sure it is possum. We have a
possum that lurks about our house. I find these strewn about on a
section of the roof and below one of our oak trees.
