Oh Robin, Im so sorry. Good luck in catching the varmint. I know it wont bring her back, but you'll feel better and your little sweeties will be a bit safer.

The hen house is on stilts and is completely enclosed except for the little door but that will be remedied immediately!

Thanks, Kathy. I still am having a hard time believing she is gone. She was alot of company.

I'm so sorry. I know how much that hurts. They really can steal your heart.

It will get better in time.

My son is bringing a live trap over so we can maybe catch the offender tonight. I hope we do. I am just so angry and concearned about my other babies too.

Yes, dug under the baseboard of the coop. After that it just waltzed right on in the little hen house and helped it's self.

Canned catfood, especially seafood flavor works best.

Place the trap along a fence line or close to a wall, possums tend to follow along walls and fences.

How is that rooster doing?
