I just had mine guy here eating the cat food on the porch again. He comes every night and leaves in the opposite direction of the coop. I'm confident my coop is predator proof, so unless he makes a move, I'll let him be. But the gun is always loaded, just in case....
good job!!!!!!!!! I went into the hen house the day before yesterday and there was a black snake inside a nesting box with two eggs inside the snake. Dh dispatched the snake! Hate to dispatch these wild creatures but we need to protect our flocks.
