well do you have a recommendation for how to catch him? ive had this trap set for weeks since our last attack and nothing.

 

[pennyJo1960]

I think it is the best thing you can do to catch it dispose of it just as you wondered
your not wrong doing that alright

What type of bait are you using? Well, I take my other comment back, as long as you kill the chicken first then I think it would be OK to use it as bait.

what ive been recommended, which was snicker bars and or marshmallows. others have suggested tuna but we are all out. ive never had to kill one of ours and don't even know what id use at this point. Im beating myself up for not locking the coop before dinner when it was almost dark .. wish this hen was a healable attack since she was again one of my favorites.

She's still alive??? For crying out loud, end her suffering already. Got an ax? Hatchet? Knife? Pellet rifle? .22? Really anything will do.

I'm so sorry for you! This is absolutely awful, I'm sorry this happened. I would usually think there was a chance for her to survive, but her whole top beak is off. Her nasal cavity is exposed, I'm sure. There is no way for her to eat, and her condition is just going to get worse. The best thing you can do right now is to put her out of her misery, it's the most humane thing you can do for her. After that, I would focus on how you can fix your raccoon problem because I'm sure they'll try to come back for more eventually.

Oh my goodness. That poor girl. Please put her out of her misery. I am so so sorry you are dealing with this.


I used to think raccoons were kinda cute. I don't anymore. I know they are just doing what they do, but dear God.
