I am so sick guys. Caught a domesticated ferret that killed all my chickens. Saved one. Now I am being told that a ferret wouldn't do that and it had to have been a racoon or a weasel. What are the odds of me catching a ferret moments after finding my 6 juvenile pullets dead by a single bite.
Kids and I are devastated. My coop is predator proof but I guess my run has some gaps in the hardware cloth. Trying to find the ferrets owner even though I want to let my dog have it.
I recently lost 7 out of 9 to neighborhood dogs. I now have a BB gun, and am getting electrified fence. I’d politely, but firmly, let the owner know that if I ever see the ferret on my land again, that’ll be the end of the problem. So, they might want to better secure or redone it.
