Ok, I know you are all laughing now
the weird smell is not poop
I let the kids out last night when I got home from work for a little R&R around the yard. You would think it was Disneyland the way they charge out of the coop/pen
When I went to close it up just as it was getting dark, the dogs charged off the deck to the coop area and barked up a storm.
We have squirrels, possum, cats, skunks (I've only smelled them), raccoons (though I have never seen raccoons in my backyard).
Whatever it was ran off
When I went into the coop (door was propped open) to count the girls, everyone was fine, but I smelled a musky wild animal smell INSIDE the coop. I have a broody hen, she was fine and on the nest.
I got a rake and raked around in the bedding (cough, cough) and didn't find anyone hiding
everyone was still alive this morning
thinking about getting a game cam to see what's around
creepy
What kind of visitor do you think I had?
