LGBTQ+ Poultry Keepers

Had a fox last year that came out of the long grass right next to me and snatched one of the ducks! Chased it into the woods screaming profanities at it, but couldn't catch it. Now I'm afraid to let them out at all...

I love all animals but that raccoon should be eaten.

I love all animals but that raccoon should be eaten.

As much as I would love to eat it, I unfortunately do not want to eat a city raccoon.
Who knows what it's been eating and what's in it's system

I caught the raccoon that ate our ducks in the act early this morning before dawn.
I let the birds out early so I could allow them to enjoy some supervised free range before they stayed locked up for the rest of the day
That darn thing managed to take off with Scout before I realized what happened

Predators get so focused, don't even see us, just awful. I am so sorry.

I felt so bad because I'm sure had I brought the dogs out with me, they would have chased it off before it had the chance

Don't blame yourself, predators are everywhere, its not your fault.

I was hoping even with Scout being eaten by the raccoon, I would have found some eggs from our Serama hens that I could incubate.
Since Tiny hasn't shown any mating behavior towards them yet, I'm hopeful to still have Scout's genes to hatch out.

 

[KikiDeAnime]

I can definitely tell that the flock isn't too happy about having to stay locked up but at least that raccoon can't eat any more
