This morning I went out to find something got into one of the coops. I lost my poor Rocky..and another white roo. Thankfully, stubs was not hurt. I wasnt sure what it was....so I set a trap....about an hr later, I hear a rucus in the coop, so out I go, just in time to see a mink run off. So....I set another trap.
This evening....again...something is wrong in the coop....I run out, and that darned mink is running from the coop. Thankfully everyone is ok...for now. I put canned cat food in the trap....will this lure it in?? Anyone?? please...I HAVE to catch this sucker, before it gets them all!!

How terrible! My husband uses Jack Mackrel, sardines, and tuna with success. Good luck!

I sure hope I go out there in the morning to new fuzzy mittens. The canned cat food is TUNA flavored. It sure stinks! Oh I hope I get it....I wont sleep a wink tonight! Glad I have the baby monitors now.

no silly.....as in a sound monitor...that most people use in a babys room...these are my babies..

I have 3 receivers....one in the bedroom...one in the kitchen, and one in the family room. I hear chicken noises all throughout my house, all day and night. My coop is a few hundred feet from the house. I need extra ears! LOL

How is the mink getting in and out of the coop so easily?
