Why is the welded wire not mink safe?

Thank you! Very smart!

A dog would be great and we had a westie terrier who would have torn it to pieces, I think?! They are rodent dogs, but I’m not sure how safe he would have been around my chicken.

Yes please!

The coop is secure and not the worry. My run was the problem that we didn’t realized would be. We had the hardware cloth surrounding it but where it overlapped it was tied about every 10 inches. My hand couldn’t fit but the mink managed to climb up and slip its body between the 2 and out. My...

Hi everyone., We had hens for 3 years with zero issues. Not one thing of evidence of anything snooping around. We thought all was secure. The other day the worse happened. Out of the blue a mink turned up and killed them all in a span of 30 mins. I had been in to see them 30 mins before...

The same happened to me after 3 years of nothing. A piece of me is missing. I want to start over but I’m scared. This just happened, so I am still processing. I really want that mink caught. It scares me for my old cat who so desperately wants to go outside. This loss is real and hurts so...

Thank you.

Could you send a picture when you have time. Especially for the stand up run. Thank you.

I have the same coop and run. 3 years no issues and the other day a mink got in even with the HWC. It’s winter so I have tarps covering it too. The double door for me is what I am trying to figure out. How do I make it safe with those gaps? And you did wash panel with with HWC? That makes...

What about the door? Like around the door frame. I worry about the holes and how to secure it without gaps. Minks and weasels can climb and get it.

I was thinking the same. A house door might work if a frame is built. Not sure if one could be made though. I may need to change the run completely.

I have cats for them. My coop was always clean. I can even wash it inside and out. I am in south east Quebec. I want more chickens, but I’m very shaken up over this as they were babies to us. 3 years with no problems and then this. I check for tracks of anything in the winter daily. It...

Thank you for this information. We have no farm and not rats. Just this mink that seemed to come from out of the blue. He killed my chickens. I have none left but I do want to trap him. I want him gone. I have an elderly cat and I worry for her now. Do you think he will still come around...

How do you trap them? Best way? Live trap? I would hate to get a cat or other animal not causing harm. What kind of bait?
