today my 7 spare roos were going to slaughter. last night I lost 4 to raccoons. Apparently it was hot in the coop, and they decided to sleep in the run. bad idea. I woke this morn to find 4 heads pulled thru wire and eaten off. And another little roo had to be culled as his wing was dislocated and badly ripped up. I cant slaughter him and eat him after hes been attacked by coons. i almost feel like the 2 remaining roos should get a chance to stay since they survived the great coon massacre of 2010
Not a single hen laid an egg today. Not one, out of 8. They are in a tizzy, skittish and paranoid now.
I've mounted the night vision scope on the rifle, and tonight i'll sit in the back of the barn hoping to see that *$@!# pack of coons. POW. I hate them.
I guess the roos were destined to be dead anyway, but sheesh....I wanted to eat them for dinner. Not give em to raccoons. Grrrrr.
and MY method of kill wouldve been so much quicker and less traumatic to all parties involved. Off with your head! not pull your head thru wire and eat your face. Again....grrrr to the coons
