Where is southwest Michigan are you, I lived in Kalamazoo from 1994-98. The squirrels in Bronson park are huge and i'm pretty sure could beat up a small child, certainly took food off of picnic tables well.

Yep, thats them. Gophers. I could see why people call them ground squirrels. I am so sick of them tearing up my lawn. I try to keep some nice lawn for my daughter to play on and its actually nice right now which is saying a lot for southern California but those gophers have it so pitted up with...

I have not seen anybody eating my chicken's food but the gopher holes are popping up in the coop. I know it's gophers because I have shot quite a few of them with my pellet gun in my back yard. The chickens are in the guest house back yard further back on the property. Have not seen any rats or...

Well my injured chicken is on day 2 of her recovery and she is limping but hanging out with her sisters as usual. Even roosting with them. She chills out in her favorite shady spot and other than being a little slow she keeps on with her daily routine. Thanks for the reply and supportive advice.

This morning I found one of my chicken hanging from her foot from the roosting perch. After taking her down and holding her awhile she seemed to be doing better. I made a nice clean area for her on the floor in the coop and she is able to move around. However, she is dragging the right lower leg...
