    About ready to scream.. RACCOONS.

    From what I've been told - the raccoon is a nursing female... and it's illegal to relocate.. so would it be illegal to kill? my hubs would have to do it, he's the hunter.

    About ready to scream.. RACCOONS.

    Basically my run is 900sq ft, with tree's in it. The Mama's on nests, are in completely enclosed areas. The raccoon was getting in under the fence before.. but I have no idea where it's getting in now - probably climbing. I'm VERY surprised it ate my rooster :( How do I hot wire the fence?

    So, Mama's babies were eaten by raccoon.. she seems very depressed :( What can I do?

    We have a poultry auction every week.. I was thinking of getting hubby to build another enclosed baby box (a 4x4 enclosed area with a nest box in it) and putting her in that, with a couple 3-4 week olds.. but I was worried she might kill them :(

    Chicks with Mama - poop stuck on bums

    I have a mama with 4 chicks, 3 of them have poop stuck to their bums. Will this hurt them? or should I intervene and somehow remove it?

    Grrr... Please tell me that the chick might be okay

    I just went and checked on the chick again.. I picked it up and it turned its head and looked at me a bit, then pulled its legs in.. Its probably in so much pain, but it's alive and I cannot bring myself to kill it. Momma has it under her, and she has one other chick and three more eggs. Other...
