    We lost two more today due to raccoons

    This interim coop arrangement didn’t work, but our main coop has held. We should put latches on our egg boxes, which will help.

    We lost two more today due to raccoons

    You need to get it in a live trap for that. We only caught skunks, which were hard to release obviously.

    Baby raccoons no momma seen

    I wouldn’t relocate raccoons any more than I’d dump rats on someone else’s property. If you get them, it is best for everyone to dispatch them humanely before they grow up to kill chickens and spread diseases, like Baylis the brain worm, that they spread via droppings. Yeah it seems heartless...

    We lost two more today due to raccoons

    These two were in an interim coop that was built as an outdoor cupboard. They just wouldn’t go in with the older ones. It was stupid of us.

    Baby raccoons no momma seen

    See, that’s what our county says to do, relocate them. Unless you live next to a national park you’re just making them someone else’s problem. If you have a big dog that will probably scare the family away forever.

    We lost two more today due to raccoons

    I would rather use a leg trap followed by gunshot dispatch, but in the suburbs you can’t do that. Plus, it’s way messier.

    We lost two more today due to raccoons

    Yeah. We did all this. Plus we have our variety crows and other wildlife and nothing has worked like this. We had to pellet this poor skunk when it got caught in outbreak snare traps, he wasn’t bothering them. Last time it was like this 30 pound coon. We put the pink juice out after we figured...

    We lost two more today due to raccoons

    One of them was dh beloved pet, i told dh to put out the antifreeze again. Yeah. I know. But it worked before and as a suburbanite I’m not able to set a leg trap and shoot or shovel them and it’s not like any other species gets into them. Raccoons are the worst. I don’t want their diseases, and...

    Neighbors dog in coop

    My neighbors dog leaped a six foot fence, killed one of my chickens and maimed another one. I called animal control, who advised me that them filing the complaint could result in the dog being put down. The chicken that lived had to be taken to a vet. I informed the owners of the initial 700...

    My neighbor won’t stop complaining

    Im not sure if Karen is home. I know I’m now going to be a suspect since I brought up her bamboo to her. She said she’d have her gardener cut it, that was that and I didn’t bring our utility here. Advise Her or stay silent?

    My neighbor won’t stop complaining

    Pg&e was just over here. I didn’t call them, they just came by to look at the wires in the neighborhood. Karen’s occluded bamboo was noted by him as something she’d have to remove before it gets another 2 feet into the high voltage wires. Presumably they have been to her house to tell her the...

    My neighbor won’t stop complaining

    She literally lives as far away from the coop as is possible. Its on the other side of the property. I told her nicely that if the coop were to be moved, it would necessarily be closer to her, and no we are not turning the whole structure around so that if faces the fence and other neighbors...

    My neighbor won’t stop complaining

    I’ve told her flat out Im glad rural still exists up there. For what it’s worth, I’m so sorry for the Bay Area denizens, the Tahoe ppl, the ppl who moved to Sac etc being a problem.

    My neighbor won’t stop complaining

    Of course. It’s the new one. She stuck bamboo trellises on top of it, so she’s got like 7.5 feet there.
