I don’t want to be rude, but you are making a HUGE mistake. One: for feeding it to help it NEVER leave and grow big enough to kill your livestock. That is very naive. It’s like feeding a baby stark in your swimming pool. My recommendation: STOP STOP it now. If you don’t want to kill it, then...

They are really bad. I have trapped three and killed them. I have a friend that nailed one against the wall with a pitchfork.

Possums, raccoons do this. Kill for sport. Chickens must be licked up every night in a strong coop made of hardware cloth, NOT chicken wire. I knew this but got lax after I thought I killed all the possums and I gadn’t Seen one in a couple of years. This is sport killing. Got all my babies.

Put out a trap with sardines in it. You'll catch it very fast.

I honor your right to live by that. I will kill Possums that are in my chicken yard. I killed two about a year ago and have had no further problems with them. If more come, I will kill those also. I will do everything I can to kill or ride my chicken yard from predators. There is room for two...

Mine is made of the same and haven't list a bird either. But possums are not welcome.

I threw away the carcasses in the woods, but kept the trap I killed them in. I rinsed it with water, but put it in the chicken yard. We had regular possums until then and non now for a year. Someone told me that they stay away from the smell of a killed one. I don't know, but not even my...

What kind of screening do you use? What kind of protection do you use to keep predators from digging under your fence to get into the coop area? How do you lock your coop? Do your chickens free range? If so, when and where. PS always try to kill a possum in your chicken yard. They WILL come...

I prefer to trap and shoot while in the trap. Another BYCer was in her barn when she came upon one. Only thing handy was a pitch fork. You should never let one get away to come back another time so she picked up the pitch fork and pinned it on the barn wall. I saw the foto. Don't know if I could...

Yea!! Another one bites the dust. My statement just before I send one to possum "heaven": "die chicken killer!!"

I used canned sardines from the grocery. Worked quickly every time. Buy the cheap ones. I paid about $1 for a can at Walmart. and used it 3 times to bait the trap.

Well, the one I caught in a trap in my chicken yard I shot. It was the first warm blooded creature I had ever shot. I didn't think I could do it bec I love animals so much. But, I thought about needing to protect my chickens and yelled "chicken killer!!" Then it hissed at me showing it's teeth...

My kind of dog.

Very cool story.

Well, ok!! That is impressive. I don't think they sell live catch traps for gators. Gators will eat your chickens, dogs, and other living creatures. Scary.

They also like chicken and rabbit food and, of course, chickens and rabbits.

I am so sorry for you and your family, especially your daughter. There is a thread that describes how to build to prevent predators from getting to your chickens. I read a lot. I went with locking them in small roosting/sleeping coops at night and letting them out every morning. Did the possums...

I had a possum living in a large clay jar on my back porch. The screen wasn't torn, so I think it opened the screen door. They have hands like a raccoon and can open things. They can also dig. I have read and been told that they can go through chicken wire but I know they can't go through...

I have been able to keep my chickens in the fenced chicken yard by clipping their flight feathers on the left side. There are videos on YouTube. I lock all my critters up at night mainly due to possums.

Had a possum in the neighborhood. First it was living in a neighbor's BBQue pit, then another neighbor'sBBQue pit, then mine. Ran it off with the "jet" setting of my water hose, then it moved to a neighbor's wood pile. Ran it off again. Finally, it began living in a jar on my back porch. I...
