Lenoir City, huh? Hmmmm wonder if this is the same one who took 8 of my roosters once... turned and had them on CL before I could even get online. I wrote her a very strongly worded email and let her know what I thought. Her story was she lets them all free range on her family's farm and even went out of her way to tell me how she is a veggitarian. Hindsight, never seen a overweight vegitarian before... DUH ME!

I'm alot less gullable now (is that how you spell it? lol)

tnchickenut, I will send you a PM on who she is. I bet it is the same person

Everyone keep their fingers crossed that the raccoon actually gets IN the trap today... not just takes the bait (and/or another chicken) and gets away.

Thanks!!!

Been there and been doing that... dead chickens, that is. The very one's it kills the night before. It takes the whole bird when it's bantams but only the crop of the standards, then I put the rest of the bird in the trap and it gets it out without setting off the trap!!!

I caught oppossums without even baitting... they are dumb animals and walk right in. Caught a fox with a carcass... but this raccoon(s) is just annoying me!! I'm about to sit out all night and hunt it. Maybe I'll borrow some coon dogs, tree the thing, and shoot it.... and you know I'm mad if I say that. I lose a chicken a day. I need some replacement birds to breed somethings but I'm not going to even try to search until I get this stopped... i would hate to get someone's bird and then it get eatten. I put a weight on the trap day after last so it finally wasn't somewhere totally different, but it took the dead roo out and flipped the pan (trigger) up, not down!!! So it got away again!!! It tries to dig under and around the trap from the outside because there is always holes everywhere it flips the trap. I'm hopeful tonight.... weight on top, and this time cat food on the pan. I'll get the little..........

I was out of town this weekend and my sister took care of the animals. She locked up 2 coops...just not the right 2 coops. One was empty! LOL. The mottled cochins didnt get locked up but were all still alive and well this morning. Phew.

Good luck on catching that stupid critter.


Bairo, are you sure you dont need a bunny for that kid of yours? these are 6 weeks old and TEENY TINY.
