    Went to get the chickens out this morning and found fort Knox covered in raccoon prints. All over the roof and around the sides, nice to have fresh snow to see them in. No damage, no injuries. Just wanted to let others know the predators are out there still. I set up my game cam again.

    Maine

    People say where we live is rural Maine as well. All lots around here are 8-10 acres. I had a rooster with the habit of crowing at 3am everyday. For the sake of my neighbors, I found the guy a new home north of Bangor where I think rural still might exist. We live in an area that use to be a...

    Should I even bother?

    I started with a zareba .07 joule solar 3 mile charger, with 2 ground rods 6' deep and 10' apart. It was a deterrent, but critters still crossed it. I had to shut it off to get this little guy to leave. Now i have a parmak mark 8 with 6 joules and the same grounding system. The deer keep...

    Post Your Game Cam Pics Here!!!

    I have suspected a raccoon lurking around for quite a while, finally got a picture. Our chicken coop is very secure, I think it was tested by a raccoon last year. My question is how common is it to see just one? Once this one is gone I of course intend to watch for more, but with just one in the...

    Does anybody have an interest, or know of anybody interested in a Buff Brahma Rooster? We just don't want a rooster right now. He is very respectful of us, and quite docile. He was acquired from Meyer's and was a sexing error of theirs. He is 22 wks today. Please pm if interested.
