I had a coon scare this morning. Went out to check the birds and a coon was in one of my coops. None injured or deaf so I was very lucky.
It was attracted by cat food as they like to come up to the back porch and eat the cats food.
Can't stress enough to have skirting of hardware cloth...
I do suggest killing it tho. I currently don't have a good method other than gun right now. We are in a kinda subdivision where everyone has 1 to 5 aecers.
I would say coon. I had one dismember a bird through the wire and take it out pice by pice.
To keep it from happening again cover that cage with hardware cloth. Them no graby hands can get through.
