    I need advice on dealing with a big fat murderous raccoon!

    With respect Ellend. It has become very obvious that we come from two very different worlds. Seeing your off hand comment about construction.....I assume yours is far more urban than mine. A world where construction solves everything. I am not concerned about my chickens while they are in...
