    Raccoon, Opossum or Weasel???????

    Thanks for all the replies everyone. Ok, so I put two live traps in the coop and three steel traps out in the run tonight baited with sardines. I also placed a camera in the coop and one on the outside. At about 1:00 A.M a raccoon showed up and climbed around on the coop and run fence area...

    Raccoon, Opossum or Weasel???????

    Could this be a Mink? I know that Minks and Weasels are closely related with the defining feature of their prints is that minks have 5 toes and weasels have 4. Has anyone ever had a problem with either one of these species?

    Raccoon, Opossum or Weasel???????

    For the last 4 nights I have lost at least 1 chicken a night, totaling 4 chickens. The last 2 nights the predator has left the chicken in the middle of the coop, headless, with the stomach area eaten too. No meat has been eaten off the body. There are feathers scattered throughout the coop and...

    What are my girls doing?

    Lately two of my hens have been laying an egg from the roost and then eating the eggs. I haven't seen them lay from the roost or push the eggs from the nest but the two eggs are always in the same spot under the roost. I think they are eating the eggs because we changed their food...possibly...

    Chicken Poop

    My chickens have started having runny, smelly poop. Any ideas on why? It has the color of baby poop (yellowish brown).

    How can I get my chickens to switch coops?

    So, we have tried spreading the eggs to no avail. We have had golf balls in their nests for the past three days. I guess they are golfing fans...they have moved all the balls out of the nest boxes and into a pile in the middle of the coop. Strange birds. Does anyone think shutting off this one...
