I had a possum that went after my chickens.It is now history. It was a pretty big one.
There are so many dead ones in the road that I don't think I have to worry about them going extinct. I put steel leg traps out and caught some then to put them out of their and my misery, they get the 410. We have so many around I see them all the time. I didn't use to shut my coop up at night but since I have been seeing them around and have recently lost one of my best layers, it's good night possum. I contacted my local Fish and wildlife and they said go ahead and shoot. I'm not going to feed them and encourage them to come around.
