Sorry, for the delay. I figured out what the problem was. The raccoon was moving the concrete block that I used to help hold the door shut at night. He won't be eating any more chickens or rabbits needless to say. It's been two days and still have the original three left.
I have a box trap and baited though, just in case.

Hey everybody. I live in South Bend (northern Indiana near MI border). Thanks to a meal subscription delivery service, I have access to more recycled carded burlap than I can use, and it makes fantastic nest box material. If anyone lives nearby, I'm happy to share!

I'm so glad you found it!

My first year keeping chickens I put out traps and I caught 15 adult racco0ns, 3 raccoon children, and 5 opossums!!!!!!!

How far south? Our local Rural King still has chicks. Just depends what you're looking for.

UPDATE!

The first of Sweetie's eggs hatched! We have a teenie weenie baby Bronze poult! Looks like Pretty Boy fathered at least one more poult this year!

The other egg is further behind in development, so I may stick it in the incubator and hope Sweetie takes really good care of the one she has. Some of those in the incubator should have hatched by now, but they don't smell bad either, so I don't know. Wondering if they died in the shell, but I should have seen a ring in them by now, too, I would think. I've put in many more of Syd's eggs since Sweetie went broody, and some look to be developing! Maybe I'll get some bitty Bourbons yet this year!

Turkey help. I have 2 male turkeys with my chicken flock and they are starting to get aggressive with no turkey hens around. Anyone know where I could get a couple of hens to hopefully calm them down? I'd even be willing to trade one for one if needed. I'm in nwi. Thanks!
