No animals showed up on the camera despite droppings reappearing. The conclusion I came to after looking around under my trash cans is that I believe it was earthworms coming out at night and leaving worm poop (or black gold). I took one out and left it in a little soil to test my theory and...

I just researched cecotropes, and yes the description and pictures look very similar to what I have been finding. I set up my camera last night and the animal seemed smart enough to just poke it’s head in the corner of the line of vision and it didn’t proceed any further. From the very blurry...

Thanks for sharing your footage. I don’t have a game camera, but I may temporarily move my front door ring doorbell (we still have our old wired doorbell) to just outside the coop/run area so I can identify our uninvited visitor. Just checked and the visitor seemed to have left even more poop...

Thanks for the tip. We don’t have any deer close to our area or a way for them to access my yard if we had them here. It’s still a mystery animal for now. I’ve scattered the Repel-All granules and a motion sensor light so we’ll see if they come back tonight. I’ll cross my fingers.

I do have some from the last time we had raccoons so I was thinking about using this as the next deterrent and possibly adding a motion light. I just reviewed the ingredients of Repel-All and I think it looks like this would be safe in case the chickens ingested it? To give a better idea of...

Yes, same spot every morning - just outside of the coop and run area. We don’t have coatimundi. I’m guessing this might be the young raccoons that came from the family of raccoons we evicted last year returning to look for food and shelter.

Hi All I love in the San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California. We recently got chickens and thankfully everything has been going great. Over the past week I have noticed animal droppings outside of the run and coop, which are secure and keep the predators out. The chickens are safe and...
