    Hope it's a raccoon. I have several traps, cage and foot. But nothing for a bear. I know they have been seen 5-6 miles from here. Hope to know tomorrow. Thanks for reply. Linda

    Thank you. It looks like it's full of berries. Like raccoon scat, just a lot bigger. I have camera and live trap baited with sardines and foot traps bated with marshmallows. So maybe tomorrow I will know

    Thank you for the reply. I just put out a trail cam on that area. I'm sure it will return. It's just much larger than any I have seen in the past. Thanks again, Linda

    Help identify poop outside run

    This is from over night outside the run. Chickens were looked up in coop. It is large size poop. What animal did this? I live in the Piney woods in SE Arkansas. I placed a 12x1" ruler by it but you can not read numbers. Any ideas? Have raccoons, possum, and coyotes, In the area. Thanks...

    Siding material, ventilation, and other coop questions.

    I used exterior 3/4 in plywood painted with porch n deck paint. Has lasted 9 years so far. My dad built a pontoon barge (floor) 12x24 with the same plywood and paint. Stayed in the water at least 20+ years.

    EMERGENCY!!!! HEADLESS DEAD CHICKENS!!!!! Warning, picture included.

    I agree, raccoon. They can stick their grubby little hands thru the smallest hole and grab a chicken.

    Great Horned Owl killing baby chicks

    Injured birds look like rats chewing on them. I think anything larger would have eaten more or taken the whole bird. just a thought

    Lost a chicken

    My last free range loss was a coyote. Grabbed a hen at a dead run. Hen never saw it coming. The rest of the flock did not seem to know, they acted normal. I would not know what happened to her but saw it as it disappeared into the brush/woods.

    Can a raccoon get a goose?

    I recently lost a Banty hen to a coyote during the day. Grabbed her at a run, never slowed down. She never saw it coming. I only saw it as it disappeared into the woods. When they have young to feed, they get brave

    Can a raccoon get a goose?

    Geese are bid chickens under neath. They sound and act tough but usually do not fight anything. My geese free range during day and are put up at night. I'm more worried about the fox and coyotes here in

    What could take a BIG bird cleanly?

    So so sorry. I'm in SE Arkansas and had a coyote take a LB chicken at a dead run. Not a single feather on the ground. Would not know what happened if I had not seen it.

    Dogs...

    Just remember, there are some really sick people out there. They may say they understand just to keep all quiet for now. But that may change if you kill one of their dogs. You have every right to do so. I had same thing happen years ago in Texas. Only it was a 5 month old colt the dogs...
