Good morning! Well last night I was a little late locking up and something got one of my older laying hens. Two piles of feathers and bloody feathers stuck to the wire says raccoon. I have unsecure fencing strung to let them have pasture during the day when I’m home. I should have been on time! :rant
Darn it I am sorry!
 
2 hens lost in two days! Yes! He came back and got another one! I was going to shut that part of early this afternoon but the little jerk beat me to it. This one made me mad, he got my Cheryl. Anyhow a couple of crows were talking quite loudly so I said show me where he is! I swear one crow jumped from one branch to another and pointed out that raccoon sleeping boldly draped over a branch.
I believe he had lead poisoning poor bugger!
 
Darn glad to hear you took care of it.
Replace it all with hardware cloth please.
My actual chicken pen does have hardware cloth and electric fencing. This part I just scabbed on to give them more grass and weeds. I think DH will help me extend properly though. I’ve been lucky but that runs out eventually.
