Just after checking on the trap, my neighbors cat was in it

Still no sign of the fox.

Poor Kitty!

Doubt you'll catch a fox in a live trap, Sneaky lil' buggers are too cleaver around here to catch one with a live trap

Checked on Charlotte just now and she's really starting to bag up! I give her a week before she starts popping out piglets~!

Ohhh what a sweetheart. She looks like shes starting to get ready to give birth any minute. I can't wait to see her piglets! Will you be keeping them all?

Had a little heart attack when I read that No unfortunately I wont keep any.. Ok maybe one but the rest are going to be sold(Keeping the two is already a pain in my butt) 4 of them will be for butchering, Where i sell my eggs wants pasture-raised pork so I told them i'd keep a few to sell to them.. So whatever i'm not butchering will be sold, Might keep one girl from the litter

Dealing with a fox too here- I found fresh fox tracks in the snow today a couple yards away from the coop. More of annoyed that my state doesn't allow traps for them. Good luck!

I Hope it does.
Had pest control over last year and they caught it with a live trap, figured I’d try it out myself this time round.

Question? - Coop Build.
Can I put sand in the roost and in the run? If yes should I have a little area with a dust bath? Like more of dirt then sand?

Never used sand in my coop before, Do you have a poop board under your roost? I wouldn't sand on the actual floor of the coop but I don't see the problem with putting sand in your run. Your chooks will probably just use the entire run as a dust bath area
