    Has any body else had this problem??

I just hope I can find him a good home ( I am going to try and find him a home, but were keeping one and culling the others for meat) before they start fighting big time when they get...

    Is it bad that my coop is built like this?

    I didnt know that about raccons! What could I do to make sure they couldnt reach inside? Would I just have to put another layer of the wire on top but make sure its not even, so that the holes would be smaller? Orrrrr I have a lot of wooden boards sitting in my yard. Should I just board up the...
