Anyone have any old English game bantam pullets/hens for sale?

There was someone on the GA thread selling some today or yesterday. Not sure how close you would be to them though.

Does anyone know if it is legal in SC to live trap and dispatch via .22LR, a nuisance raccoon on my property?
I saw my first one since living here for 8 years and it almost got to my chickens.

Are you in the city or out in the country? If it's the first one you've seen in 8 years just trap it and take it for a long drive. Release 20 or 30 miles away in some woods. I think I recently read 8 miles is the range of a male coon but populations must be low in your area if only 1 every 8 years! Or like a county animal control officer said once- if it kills your livestock it is your right to dispatch it. Don't brag and cause a ruckus, just take care of the problem and rest easier

Very simular to what I was told.....SSS....shoot, shovel, shut up.....

The same here in nc. I had a neighbors dog get after my girls a caught the dog and then called animal control. When they arrived I called the owner of the dog and told him to come get his dog. When he got there I had the animal control officer to explain to him that I have all rights to stop any animal in my yard to protect my chickens via broom to a gun. If I would have just told the owner that myself then it would cause animosity between us. Now he has his dog in a lot so it don't roam and I'm sure he has told all the other neighbors also.

I was leaning towards that remedy.
I live in the country, have neighbors, but I doubt would say anything even if they knew.
I think relocation comes with legal implications and I don't want anyone else to inherit my problem.

Hi. I live in Easley/Powdersville as well. We currently have 29 chickens and have been doing this for a couple of years. Glad to know there's a neighbor!
