Oh...I’m on a phone, out with the chickens not wearing my glasses and just click click clicking away..who knows what I did wrong..
It’s only 92 degrees here!! I have 4 fans in the coop, which i currently am. The fans don’t really help, just dries the sweat lol.
Oh, weenie like small! They make locking carabiners that might outwit a raccoon. And no shame for the coop - we’re all figuring it out as we go, aren’t we?
Sneaky, for sure. Thumbs, no. At least, not opposable thumbs. But the do have five dexterous fingers on each hand. I’ve watched one of raccoons eating cat food and she picks it up between her two hands held flat.
“However, they do have five long, flexible fingers on each paw, which, along with their sensitive paws, allow them to manipulate objects with great dexterity. They can't grasp objects with one hand like humans, but they can use both forepaws together to pick up and manipulate items with impressive skill”. That’s good enough for me! Not to mention those sharp looking teeth. I will reiterate bring on the locks and latches! (Kinda disappointed I was lied to as kid by all those cartoons showing raccoons with thumbs).
Oh absolutely, I agree. They are crafty little buggers, for sure.
I have more chickens than you do, so I have a very large coop. But I also have a TSC coop. It fits 6 standard hens! Not! There’s no way my big butted hens can fit in that. But I do love it for my littles. It’s perfect for my bantam polishes. Or a rooster that’s acting a fool. I’d totally buy another one.
I have the largest one they sell, “Fits 10-15 Chickens!” Four, it fits 4.
LOL that’s so accurate. And mine has 3 “nesting boxes”. Not one of my standard hens can fit her bulbous butt in there.
Mine has 3 nesting boxes too (they do all fit in, and of course only use one).
