Hello everyone,
I had a very upsetting experience several weeks ago when a coon got one of my hens (our babies) around 3 pm. Heard her last sounds and all. I chased the coon out of the yard.. had alot of adrenalin going.
Less than week later, out in yard with my hens and our standard poodle treed a coon within 20 feet of us. Needless to say, sure the neighbors wondered at the crazy sounds coming from next door as I attempted to scare the ****out of the coon.
We got a live trap. Put in marshmallows and caught a rat. Set up trap again, no raccoon going on 2 weeks plus now.
Have hens on lockdown and supervised yard trips. But would really like to catch the coon.
Any ideas?
