Even if you bought her one labeled coon proof That means nothing. The container is that say cool proof now I laugh at. We’ve tried several different brands and after enough trying they find a way to get in there. To the point where we had to put weight in the bottom so they won’t knock it over...

I’m sorry about your girls. That is the hard part is I think almost all of us want to be able to free range chickens but depending on our area or set up or whatever it may be sometimes it’s not possible. But as long as they’re safe happy and healthy I guess that’s what really matters

A hawk may not be able to lift a chicken and completely fly away with it Wholebut it will definitely kill a chicken. I’m lucky enough that Mike can free range but I know the Hawks are the reason they stay by the goats the whole time they are out. Most daytime predators are not going to try to...

Oh yes definitely. Right after that ditched the Staples and learned they do no good and went to fEncing Nails Dug down and added a skirt and attached a 2 x 6 to the 4 x 4 at the bottom screw that on and buried it too. There’s lots of other things we did after that because I swore I could never...

Maybe that’s why I feel so bad when I have to kill a raccoon Because I know he’s just trying to get his food to survive. But like I said before I guess what we have to do with what we have to do to keep ourselves and our animals safe along with others. It is sad though. I’m sorry about you...

That’s a nice set up it got there

I’m so obsessive over it that on their entire run I used fencing nails to put in the fence but then screwed two by four over top of that to sandwich the fence and the nail between the 4 x 4 post and a 2 x 4. I think no matter how secure and good to have it we’re always looking to improve it just...

I think some people don’t agree because they don’t have chickens that need to be protected. Plus when they’re living on your property they are probably going to start to breed and the next thing you know you’ve got their droppings in your shed and around your yard. It takes a lot out of me too...

No and he was a good size. He didn’t get in through the front door I found the hole he ended up getting in. The shed door is never left open because the goats will break in. So when we use it the door gets closed and locked right behind us. The goats are so sneaky that we don’t even feed them...

It wasn’t trapped or cornered in the shed it was standing right at the doorway in the open and wouldn’t even let me set foot in the shed once I open the door. Maybe it Didn’t have rabies. I just assumed because I’ve never had one act aggressively just from opening the shed door. And I know he...

Unfortunately the best way and I think only legal way to get a raccoon away is to shoot it. I had one in my shed in the middle of the day that we did not let me in my shed and showed me it’s teeth. I was pretty convinced it had rabies or some sort of disease because I’ve never seen a raccoon...

That’s a good point. Where are the skunks and raccoons around the same timeframe

If she has them releasing those skunks on camera somebody should definitely take that to law-enforcement. Because it had to be a consistent thing to trap that many skunks! In most states and areas that’s illegal. For that reason. Some people make me crazy. To relocate all those skunks right...

If they sleep inside the coop and the cute is secure The fencing outside of it shouldn’t be an issue till they Are outside your coop. I never trust staples anymore. I’ve had a raccoon pull my hardware cloth and popped the staples out where it had about a 3 inch opening and was able to stick his...

Oh you definitely should have a skirt around to run and coop. They definitely will try to dig their way in. And just from experiences how do you attach your wire? They can pull wire and pop Staples right out. They also can easily figure out how to open a door latch when it’s locked. They say if...

I’m surprised it hasn’t returned. Usually once a raccoon realizes there’s a tasty chicken dinner in your yard they will be back. I’ve had several several raccoon experiences and until we get rid of the raccoon by trap or other methods they continued to come back. We spent a very very very long...
