Floridachicken: On top of everything else happening around here these days, we lost a hen to a raccoon last night. Our first in many years. So the girls and I worked until dark putting half-inch mesh around the bottom of the chainlink, and securing anything that looked loose. The top had been breached on the duckling pen too, but none were missing, so we put wire under the wood. Of course we have the trap set tonight, using all the great suggestions from before. I didn't have the heart to bait it with the remains of our hen, so I wired a nice, smelly can of sardines in there instead. I'll let you know what happens...maybe TrapperLisa can finally earn her name!?!
