Well I've been missing a few chickens these last few weeks alone with a couple of baby ducks , I was thinking it was a hark or maybe a possum , yesterday I also found about a doz. of my turkey eggs outside of the 6' high fence pen ........so I set up a few traps come to find out today when I went to feed one of the traps had a Fisher Cat init not ever seeing one so I did a search on the net and seen what I have in my trap.
Now what can I do with it and I was wondering if there are any more around , Im going to reset the other traps today and see what else is out there .
I'm getting tried of losing my birds to wildlife , I try to Predator
Proof the bottoms of the pens with wire and use only 6 high chain link fence , the tops are cover with deer netting or chicken wire , but my coops and runs are close to the woods on my property , so I guessing I will never be 100% predator proof . They always find a spot to get in.
Most of the pens / runs are cover in but some of the middles are hard to get cover due to some large oak tree's ,
the duck aviary is almost covered up but about 10' x 10' square is not finish yet, out of the 50'ft. X 18' ft X 14' high duck aviary
Looks like I'll have to finish the aviary tomorrow for sure.
