Hi All
I love in the San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California. We recently got chickens and thankfully everything has been going great. Over the past week I have noticed animal droppings outside of the run and coop, which are secure and keep the predators out.
The chickens are safe and their food supply secure, but I am worried about any diseases these animals may bring to the flock. We had raccoons prior to chickens but mostly heard their activity on the roof until we closed up their entryway a year ago. The droppings I’ve been finding every morning
look different from the raccoon droppings I found before as they are smaller, however the droppings are definitely larger than a mouse. Any help identifying the predator and tips would be appreciated. I know we also have skunks and opposums in our area as well as feral cats, but the droppings I have found don’t look like any animal I have researched online.
